Hip/pelvic pain and aches anyone else?
Hey lovelies,
I've had aching hips/pelvis on and off for a couple of weeks but today it's been all day and is so painful I could cry.
I'm sat with a water bottle and alternating it from one hip to another but it's not helping.
A friend who works in maternity said if I've got twins my uterus might be growing quicker so coming out of my pelvis earlier (!)
Just wondered if anyone's feeling it this early as well or have done with past pregnancies?
I've read it's common later on but I'm only 8+4

Be careful with the water bottle near your tummy as u need to be careful not to raise your body temp too much.
Hope it goes soon - pregnancy does crazy things to us eh!
sorry I am gonna sound a bit thick, but havent been on for a few days, so are you expecting twins??
I had pelvic/hip pains early on in my third pregnancy, unfortunatly my mw was poo and just told me to carry on. by 19 weeks I couldnt lift my feet off the floor and was in tremedous pain so I self admitted to the maternity department where I was diagnosed with SPD. So far I havent had any such pains in this pregnancy but I know at 10+5 there is still plenty of time to kick in
I hope you feel a little more comfortable soon x

Try to rest as much as poss

Hope your pains are short lived and your mw can offer something to help meantime!
Me too Suej11 - I literally have a pain in the bum!!
Mine is right in the middle though - on my "tailbone". If I'm sitting for any length of time, especially in the car or on a train it is really hard to walk afterwards and it gets sore to the touch when it's really bad. Didn't get this before in my previous pregnancies
I went to a Backstreet Boys gig when I was 14 and I was screaming so loud I was squeezing my bum at the same time and I was ruined for about 3 yrs and had to have physio and a special cushion to go in the curve of my back and everything. It's the same pain as that now that if I'm sat down for any time it's a killer to get up.
Thought this would make you lol anyway!!
To be fair I had this tailbone issue before I got pg, it started to come and go over the summer, possibly longer than that but I really noticed it after a long car journey in about September and went to the doc who said that it could have been caused by my last preg (18 months ago) although was unlikely to still be causing problems so long after. However since I've been pregnant again it's become much much worse si I'm thinking it's a combo of ligament loosening from this pg on top of whatever was causing the problem before.
Oh the joys!
I did have a weird flashback when it was particularly bad on Monday to the pain of the very last bit of pushing before baby crowns and also the feeling of delivering the placenta - maybe that's what initially did the damage. In whcih case I'm starting to already feel nervous about how much it will hurt 7 months from now.... ops:
You've got me worried now Feebs, trying not to think about labour yet, too scary. Does it hurt when you deliver the placenta? I guess I always assumed that that bit would seem like nothing after the baby's head is out! I think I've got a lot to Learn before June!
No it doesn't really hurt as such but (hope this isn't TMI!) when you're pushing the baby out it's like you're the most constipated you've ever been in your life so as they go down they really press on your bowel and afterwards my tailbone area was really bruised so when the placenta passed through that last bit it was a bit of an "ouch" but only for a second and only made me wince really. Nothing compared to the "ring of fire" when the head crowns......
