30wks & uncomfortable

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I'd have to say the most stressful to my body. I'm a bit concerned about the pelvic pain I've been having. I have a history of early delivery( @36wks & 37wks) but this seems way too early. Any suggestions on pain in pelvic? I am able to feel some relief by lying on my side with a really big pillow between my legs or basically in labor position. Thanks!

  • I'm right there with you. Sitting on an exercise ball helps me, as well as yoga. I've heard those support belts improve the discomfort, but I haven't tried it yet.

  • This is my second viable pregnancy and I just asked my doc about insane pelvic pressure. She said as long as I'm not dilating it's unfortunately normal for 2nd or more time moms. Mine is worst when I stand up after sitting for a while. I sit on a yoga ball chair at work, and I actually think it makes it worse because it spreads your hips allowing baby to drop more. But that's just my opinion. I think prenatal yoga helps.

  • This is my first, but recently I'm in the same boat.

    Swimming (just standing in the water haha) or taking a bath. Water gives me instantaneous relief.

  • This is my third and I'm carrying really low.  The pelvic pressure is insane.  I haven't tried yoga but I make myself take walks every day despite the discomfort.  I also take my kids swimming a couple times a week and the sensation of weightlessness is a huge relief.  I also lie down whenever I can.
