I assume this is normal?

My pubic bone feels bruised & it's uncomfortable when I walk.  I'm assuming that this is normal.  Will it last for the rest of pregnancy, or is it just a day to day kind of thing?

I have been told that it's normal because mine is KILLING me too! Mine hurts the most when I sit though...but the pain comes and goes.

You mean the feeling like you've been repeatedly kicked in the crotch? Or, where you feel like two people have grabbed either side of your legs and pulled?

Sadly, it's normal- just one of the joys of pregnancy that tend to hit toward the home stretch..and, I believe some light stretching can help with the worst of it, though, everything is 'relaxing and softening' in anticipation of labour so be gentle.

Ugh... I remember that feeling... I'm pretty sure it's normal dani. The last weeks are a real pain in the crotch, lol.

I wouldn't say my pubic bone HURTS per se but I'm feeling super creaky in my hips and general pubic area... I'm sure it's only going to get crazier from here on out!

Yep, that's the one!   lol

It is definitely normal.  Your doctor should have warned or reminded you at 32 weeks about it.  It is the stretching of the muscles in that area to get ready for the birth.  Hang in there... the babies are almost here.
