Pubic bone pain

SoldiersGreenBean

OMG, it feels like my pubic bone is going to split in 2.  It started suddenly on Thursday, and now it won't go away.

Any suggestions?  OB gave me a script for a pelvic girdle, which helps with the back pain some.  But the pubic pain makes it so hard to walk.

I started getting this around 16 weeks - and it is the worst!!! 

I noticed the girdle helped somewhat, but what honestly helped the most was taking a couple of days mostly off of my feet.  It seemed like the relief of some of the weight and pressure on the pubic bone helped it to 'heal'.  I still get it occasionally, especially getting in and out of the car, and turning over and bed, but it hasn't been a constant pain since then.  At the very least try to stay off your feet and avoid sitting up right as much as you can. 

GL - you're almost there!

I would stay off your feet if at all possible, I don't think there is much you can do about that separation/diastasis if it happens and it can get even worse from what I've heard. GL

I've had it with both pregnancies and its horrible.  Sleep with pillows between your legs.  I can hardly get out of bed in the morning and have to rock side to side before I'm able to walk.  I see a chriopractor for it and it helps for a day or two.  And when I can't make it in there, I lay on a big bean bag chair and my DH pushes on my lower back and it helps separate the bones.  Honestly, I have to live with it until I deliver these guys.

Moving regularly, but not standing for long periods seemed to be what minimized it the most for me.  It was HORRIBLE, and I never found anything that made it go away.
