I told my doctor and nurse about this pain issue and how severe it’s been for me since the second trimester and instead of referring my to any kind of physical therapy that might help, I was just told that I just “have to deal with it”. I feel so unheard as a young woman and this is my first pregnancy which I feel makes me sound almost dramatic to them. I’m 36 weeks now and I can barely lift my legs without help from my boyfriend because of the excruciating pain.

I am currently 9 months w/ twins and when I tell you this pain is the worst thing I have ever felt in my entire life ! It literally makes just waking up a living hell ! I can’t do anything I be on pain so bad , something as simply as lifting my legs and walking is a 10/10 pain , on top of my feet and legs being super swollen! I have had 3 kids already & this is the worst it’s ever been . Makes me never wanna have kids ever again if I have to be in this much pain , it’s UNBEARABLE AND UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE !

My son is four yrs old now, but during my pregnancy with him I kept complaining of pain in my pelvic area. I never had experienced something so painful More Painful than labor ever was!
Anyway it progressively got worse I remember the day I stopped walking I kept complaining to my son’s father and everyone thought it was nerve pain. By time we made it home I took a bath which was on the third floor of the house we was on the bottom floor we was renting a room with friends. I never made it back to that bathroom to bath luckily we had a bathroom right around the corner but it was a half bath. I couldn’t even make it to the bathroom my fiance my son’s father was literally picking me up to take me to the bathroom I couldn’t move in bed without excursiating pain I couldn’t spread my legs Nothing! Needless to say I wound up in the ER of the hospital I was scheduled to have my son at. The doctor literally called me a liar when I described what had be happening over past two weeks before I did anything. I thought in my head I was being weak in some way.
He picked my leg up said hold it in the air. I said I cannot I promise you I can’t.
My leg Dead weight hit the bed. He believed me then. After 3 cats scan the doctor still wasn’t able to tell me what was wrong. I spent almost 3 weeks in that hospital after almost 2werks I began to walk w assistance by time I left I was walking myself but with pain w I slept I had lift one leg and pull the other over right after. I was in pain but honestly that pain didn’t bother me. I was terrified I was gonna have this child a d not be able to tend to him. I’m so thankful it was gone by time he came which was almost month n a half later. I’ve questioned it for yrs considering I have a 13 yr old daughter and nothing ever happened like that. I was 19 when I had her and 28 when I had him. But still, and the fact that my doctor’s had no idea really what was going on scares me more!
Good luck to all you ladies and God bless 💯💓🙏🤰🤱

I had this too for the past week. I’m 35 weeks pregnant. Just saw a chiropractor for the first time and I immediately have relief, the pain is gone!! My advice- see a chiro ASAP. 🙂

This is my first Pregnancy and I’m currently in my 33 weeks and I just knew this pain wasn’t supposed to be normal because it’s so excruciating
I feel like crying each time it’s almost night and I remember I have to go to bed ,and to worsen the situation, not only do I have an unsupportive partner who happens to be a Physiotherapist but our bed is also high ,very high and I can’t sleep on the floor as much as I want to . The pain is so much that sometimes after fallen deeply asleep and wake up to pee when my bladder must have been quite full ,I feel clicking sounds internally in my pubic when moving down the bed to go to the toilet and I’ll waddle to go to pee ,and I always feel so dehydrated at night that I want to drink water every minute especially after peeing but I can’t because the pain is too much i wish I don’t have to pee at all through the night so I don’t get to feel the pain too much
Spoke with my doctor at my last appointment and she said it’s a normal feeling due to pressure because baby’s head is down ,I’m just grateful I now have a name for the pain and I should be able to tell her at my next appointment even though I doubt it’d yield any positive result

Thank you for uploading this

I am 39w4d pregnant and one had this pain for months. My midwives kept telling me it’s normal and that it’s just my body preparing for her and checking for infections down there. I cant deal with this pain anymore. I want my little one out. I can barely stand up or walk anymore. If the pain keeps up we will be going to the hospital in a few hours.

I am currently 25 weeks and dealing with all of this. It is making my job as a daycare teacher and mother of an 18 month old extremely difficult. I can hardly move at all. And this is on top of very bad sciatica as well so I just hurt, bad. My Obgyn is really nice but I don’t think he takes me seriously when I tell him I’m in as bad as pain as I am. What do you suggest? And as so many people have mentioned Tylenol doesn’t even touch this pain oh, and people at work think I’m being extremely dramatic or just trying to sit down all the time.

I had a hysterectomy 10 years ago and an injury to my sciatic nerve 3 years ago.
Sometimes when i stoop down i cannot get up.. because of the muscles in my upper upper thighs leading to my crotch area lock off..
Can anyone say why?
