Is anyone else having horrible pelvic pain. It hurts so bad that it wakes me up when I roll over at night. I I stand on my left leg to put on pants I can barley keep myself steady. And this getting up to pee 5-6 times a night had got me really grouchy! So anyone with the peliv pain did the doctor say what it is? I go tomorrow just thought I would ask.

YES! This is JUST what I was explaining to a coworker- and my exact words were.. "If this is what I have to look forward to for the next 4 weeks, then I am ready now."
Ug!
Yes, it's terrible, especially at night. My OB said it was because of the pelvic bones beginning to separate and then rub back together. That's why any motion that involves separating the legs (like rolling over in bed) makes it worse.
He said the maternity belts help some women (and make it worse for others), but I haven't tried one. A heating pad/rice sock gives some temporary relief. I have to sit down to put on pants and even that hurts. I was telling DH that he might be helping me get dressed soon!
