3rd Trimester

Anyone have sharp groin pain?

Really weird...all day today (off and on) I have been having sharp groin pain.  It's definitely not lightening crotch; this is more like a pulled groin muscle but it comes on sharp, gets dull, and then goes away...and later repeats.  I am having it on both sides, too.  I haven't done anything that would have pulled a muscle.  Ouch!

I never felt this when I was pregnant with my first.  Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this.

  • sounds like Round Ligament Pain

  • Is it near the round ligaments? Depending on how DS2 is situated, I've been having what feels like round ligament pain, but if I apply counter pressure to the area, I can feel him withdraw what I imagine would have to be his foot from the area and the pain immediately subsides- until he sticks his foot out again.

  • I've had this now for about 2weeks and originally (and mostly) it's on the left side, especially after sitting for a long period of time. Now it's on both sides, but again only after sitting for awhile. My doc said it's normal due to the muscles and ligaments stretching out to prepare for delivery. Awesome... I now limp AND waddle.
  • Definitely not RLP. It's not in my abdomen, but my groin muscles. It is on the inside of my legs.

    Feels like I went running and didn't stretch first.

  • I had this for weeks before delivering.

  • I've had this off and on for the past week or so. My guess is that baby is just sitting lower and compressing some nerves.

  • Could it be this?

    Pelvic Girdle Pain, also known as Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction

    I've been having pains in my pubic area, not my groin, for two weeks. It has been diagnosed as this. It is so painful to stand and walk that I am now off work for the rest of my pregnancy.

    It's also definitely not RLP. I had plenty of that between weeks 14 and 25. I still get the odd twinge of RLP but it's nothing like this. THIS doesn't go away. :S

  • Yes! Im having the same problem and was worrying myself over it. Now I feel better knowing others are having the same problem. I have my next dr appt tomorrow and am going to bring it up. But my groin area especially on left side hurts when I get up to walk and when I turn over in bed ...feels like I have pulled a muscle. I really hope this will go away soon...I am seriously waddling because of it!

    Turning over in bed is actually when I have some of the worst pain. That and walking up stairs, getting in and out of vehicles etc. My pelvis has been clicking and popping as well...always when turning over in bed. I've come to dislike going to sleep because it's almost as bad as walking around. :S

    Oh, and when my pain first started, I developed a crazy waddle too. I'm still waddling but not quite so bad. I have learned to fix my legs a certain width apart to help even my hips out etc. I bet it looks funny though.
