HELP!! I'm in so much pain!!!

I'm in so much pain, guys! This is my 3rd pregnancy and I never felt this with my other two. It's all in my private region/very low pubic bones and it is SOOOO painful! I tried to tell my doctor a few times and he doesn't understand. He told me there was nothing I could do and it can be "uncomfortable." Uncomfortable?!! More like excruciating! The nurse and midwife at the office told me to try a belly band or cradle. I tried 3 different belly bands - including a cradle - and they did absolutely nothing! It's because the pain is not in my back, nor does my belly feel heavy - it feels like I just gave birth and then went horse-back riding for 20 hours and then went on a 100-mile bike ride! I also tried a chiropractor a few times and it didn't help either :( The pain started a few months ago, but now it is so severe that I can barely walk, move, etc. PLEASE HELP! Anyone else out there experiencing this? If so, anything helping you? I don't think I can bare this for another couple months!

    Excruciating pain warrants a doctors medical decision making, not strangers on the internet opinions. If your doctor isnt taking you seriously, or you dont trust their medical advice then get a second opinion.

    I've gotten several - they all say it happens sometimes and don't truly understand or offer real solutions.

    So a group of women on the internet are going to override medical advice? Solid plan.  :|

    I don’t think she is expecting medical advice, just some support or advice. Unfortunately, this is my first pregnancy and I haven’t experienced pain like this. Hopefully someone has some new suggestions for you to help ease your pain! I’m sorry your hurting!

    Have you asked for a physiotherapy referral? It sounds like you *could* have SPD, unfortunately you’ll need someone who can assess you and make a proper diagnosis but unfortunately there is little that can be done until delivery except a pregnancy belt and some strengthening exercises

    This. Uncomfortableness is a part of the game. Finding how to beat manage the pain and still function is tough. I’d press for a second opinion/ other options.

    exactly! i already spoke with the dr. several times about it - he just said that it's normal for some women and it wasn't dangerous, just difficult. looking for others that have been through this to see what has helped them!

    Yes, that's what I'm working on now - I can't get in to see a PT for another week or so. Have you had this before? Did PT help?

    It's called SPD and it is more likely to happen in subsequent pregnancies. It has been worse and worse for me each time. It's entirely normal and there isn't a ton you can do besides pelvic floor exercises and wear a compression band.

    **Lurking from Jan 19** Is it pressure/aching in your pelvic floor/lady bits? I started getting horrible aching if I stood for longer than 45 min... In my case it is vulvar varicose veins.. unfortunately the only thing to do for those is get a jock-strap like compression belt and wait for them to go away post delivery. Good luck! Hopefully your docs can give you some answers.

    @Mandamay1414 (sorry to hijack) but tell me how your belt is working for you? I just bought one for varicosities (so fun!!!!)
    I’m hoping it helps. I didn’t have (or maybe notice it with my first pregnancy)

    @ssag it helped a ton with the vulvar aching and pain while standing (I stand for most of my 8 hr shift). I will say the waist strap on mine might be a bit tight because it gets uncomfortable by the end of the day. Hope it helps you!
