pubic bone pain
Posted: 05-07-08 08:49am

I am 21 weeks pregnant. I have really bad lower back pain. When I lay on my side I have a really hard time getting up, it's a really strong sever pain in my pelvis or pubic bone straight through to my lower belly... I can't even lift my leg up side ways when I lay on my side..

**(when I say side ways.. You know when you lay on your side and you do that exercise to lift your leg and lower it etc)*** Thats not what I am trying to do, but I can't even lift my leg an inch..

Even sometimes when I sit up I get pain down there I think its in my pelvis.. Like right between my legs outside of my you know...

This sounds like a normal pregnancy pain to me.

When I was pregnant, this area hurt a lot. I asked my doctor and he said the baby naturally pushes on those parts of the body.

I also had sciatica real bad because the baby pushed on my hip.

It would be so bad that I wouldn't be able to move.

Are these your only symptoms? Do you have fever? Do you have abnormal discharge or pain when peeing? If not then its probably normal pregnancy pains. I have been getting shooting pains in my hip bones each day. Sometimes its so sharp and sudden that I stumble. But my doc also said that its normal and as long as it doesnt last then Im ok.

Sorry you feel so bad. Maybe try stretches or minor excersie to try and loosen up the muscles in that area. Like light walking or yoga stretches. That could help. But a good old heating pad does wonders for me.

Yeah it does sound like normal pregnancy woes! I have some of this same thing going on. My husband had to move my legs for me while I just relaxed them: I couldn't physically move them the pain was so bad. You can try chiropractic to help keep yourself in a decent shape, but it's pretty much going to be painful throughout the pregnancy.

You might want to look into getting a support belt for your belly too.

Thank god I called the nurses hotline and they said to go to the birthing unit at the hospital.. I didn't think it was that serious

Sometimes I get the lower abdominal pain. I think thats just the ligiments, but when I lay down and try to get up it hurts so bad. Its in my pelvic area.. I was like I hope I am not dialating (sp.)

LOL! I don't know I do get really bad lower back pain, ofcourse lower belly pain.. Yellowish discharge, but noticed I had alot more clear discharge recently.. Which. I think is normal too. I am going to ask my doc why the yellow came back again.

The pee test I took at the doctors a few weeks ago the 'blood' part turned green (not normal) The protine was normal and sugar was normal so he said not to worry about it..

LOL! AND I thought pregnancy would be a breeze! I didn't know you could love someone so much that I have never met yet. I didn't know that she could cause so much pain and scare me so much all ready! LOL- The worries have just began

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am happy to hear!

Oh yes and there will always be something to worry about. I am a well seasoned mom after 6 pregnancies and I can tell you that even with my last I had a few problems that worried me too. It's definitely not a breeze for everyone and if you ever need help, I'm here for you Smile

Oh and btw, just a little edit here... you can usually tell if it's ligaments if it's associated with movement. If you lie down and you feel fine or can get yourself into a position that is comfortable, you aren't in pre-term labor. Something that helped me a lot was getting on my hand and knees, and then putting my head and upper body on a recliner letting my belly hang free with my knees still on the floor.

No no, it's perfectly normal and fun, even if it's just to dream about stuff you know you can never afford to squeeze into your house...passes the time Smile

Very true. I have been getting carried away. I have been thinking alot lately. Sometimes happy excited thoughts turn into sadness.

My boyfriend left me 3 months into the pregnancy. After being together for four years. His parents were horrible to me for the first 5 months. I mean his mom was so mean to me- one time she was so mean that I was under so much stress that I started to bleed. He lives with them now, and is talking about coming back after shes born. I sit up at night and I worry, because now his parents are trying to come around. All I can think about is the comment from his mom "why didn't you use a condom"

I don't know what to do. Its like now I am more than half way there and everyone wants to start to come around- he comes around once a week or once every two weeks. He doesn't do Dr. appointments nothing etc. He doesn't talk about the pregnancy. He left me here to take care of EVERYTHING. All of the bills etc. He's living free off of his parents. I am struggling, and it makes me sick to think that they think that they can just come around now- or after she's born. Because when I really needed them NO ONE was there. Now, I am finally getting settled.

MY ex even told me he wouldn't be there for the birth of her. Yet another thing I will do on my own. How can I let him back after he hasn't been there for me through the whole pregnancy?

I don't want them to take her when she's born. They caused me and the baby enough stress. Its been a great pregnancy, because of this site, but horrible, because all the people around me left me when I got pregnant. Except my mom and dad. Who are helping me get through it. Its so stressful for my parents and me.

What should I do?

No way!! I can't believe that people like this are even allowed to live.

Do not let him back over your house or into your life. You are the mom, you are the one that has done all the work, you have paid the bills, you have the rights to do what you want. If you don't put his name on the birth certificate, then there is nothing he can do...sure, maybe you might have to do through a little bit of legal stuff, but it will be worth it.

And btw, HIS parents have NO right whatsoever, so they can just go back where they came from if you know what I mean. No one can take your baby from you if you are the good mom you think you are, and don't let ANYONE ever say or even think they can. You have your rights above anyone else here, so don't be afraid to stand up for yourself! Get a restraining warrant if you have to. It might not be actual physical abuse you are dealing with here, but it's mental abuse as well as a draining you of the energies that you have to give proper care to yourself and the baby.

I'm so glad that your parents are help you through this terrible time. Just keep them with you and if you are too tired or afraid, don't be shy to ask them for help whenever you need it. We are all here too for you whenever you need us Smile

Thanks! I graduated college with my Early Childhood Education. For a couple years I ran an Infant room. I have also worked with toddlers, preschoolers, and school agers. I am not scared about being a bad mom. I am just scared of them trying to take her because now i know how horrible they are. I don't want them to make this little girl feel like they made me.

I have had a very good upbringing. My parent shave always taught me to care about others and to love them. My ex had problems with depression his mom made him feel horrible about himself and he had a really low self esteem. I found out he was drinking alot. Then I spent 4 years trying to help him through. Begging him to go to treatment centers taking care of someone who drinks is not a nice job. Now, that I am pregant he's decided to turn all the attention on himself and go and get help. Personally I think its so that he doesn't have to be accountable, and maybe he's jealous of the baby? I don't know?

Today, his sister in law emailed me and I wrote back that I hope that his family doesn't think that they're going to come around after the baby is born. Since they haven't been there the whole pregnancy. : This is the first baby in there family in 32 years, there first grandchild, the first girl - because he has all brothers. It blows me away.

When he first left. I was broke it was right before rent was due- I had my half. I asked his parents if they could pay his half. His mom laughed at me and said I should have planned for this. His parents are very very wealthy people. They live in a mansion on a beautiful property they have nice cars an airplane etc. ANYWAY, I shouldn't have asked. I should have known the reason they have all of this money is because they're selfish.

Well I really feel for you. Having a college education though, especially in that area, makes you more than suitable to be a wonderful mom, and one that will know what raising a happy and healthy child is all about.

I know it's hard that your ex had problems with self-esteem and depression, but he is still responsible for his actions, and he needs to get away from his parents and get some therapy. He needs to get a job and grow up...he's a father and he's going through life a little backwards! It is important even more that he is not around you or your child because of it: he is not paying anything and his negativity on life cannot possibly have any positive effect on you or the baby.
