So, I didn't sleep well at all last night and I took a nap this afternoon. I woke up and have been having intense pain in my pelvis. It hurts pretty bad and feels like someone kicked me really hard in the front of my vagina. Anyone else feeling this? Any suggestions on how to ease the pain? I'm at the verge of tears.
Re: Odd pain
I went to my OB at 37 weeks with the same exact pain. I was scared that it was symphysis pubis dysfunction, but they assured me I was experiencing bad round ligament pain. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done. I was told to take Tylenol (which for me does absolutely nothing!). I've found hot baths and using a heating pad or icing the area helps to soothe the pain temporarily....but my doc basically said I have to grin and bare it until LO is born. I've found that walking exacerbates the pain, so staying put helps (if it's an option for you).
Sorry you're dealing with this! I know exactly how you're feeling and it's no fun
