2nd Trimester

What is this pain?

Unfortunately, my doctor is on vacation and the nurse is of no help.

I have a ton of pelvic pain/pressure, only when I stand or walk (not when I sit). Sometimes I even have shooting pains down my left thigh or it feels as if the baby is a fire poker trying to escape through my vagina.

This is baby #2 and I didn't have anything like this with baby #1. Just trying to figure out if I there's anything I can do (e.g. walking, yoga/stretching, rest) to ease the discomfort.

Thanks!

  • is it on the front or back of your leg...I get sciatic nerve pains and it sounds just like that, but is on the back of my leg, like down by butt...

  • It's actually on the inner thigh (not the back or front) :( I thought or sciatica or round ligament pain. Guess I'll have to wait for the doctor on Monday.
  • hmmm...theres no other doctor on call as a back-up?  I wonder if you can call the labor and delivery department of your hospital and ask to speak to a doctor there just so you don't have to wait til monday.  There has to be someone there.  Thats an option with my place.
