I really dont know, but I dont think it would be your hips spreading. Your not that far along at all and your baby is still very tiny. Ive never heard of this before.

Hi when my friend was expecting her first 2 babies, they wer always small and she had complications the whole time. With her third the baby was a healthy weight and was very big considering. (i dont know all the details) anyway her pelvis started splitting and she ended up in crutches and eventually a wheelchair through the end of her pregnancy, shes fine now though all back to normal.

Hmm sounds a little bit too early for ur hips to be spreading.. I'd say bring it up to ur doc at ur next appt just in case

I dont think your hips should be spreading yet....Thats pretty much in very late pregnancy and labor! But I have heard of cases where the uterus can be tilted a different way and that can cause back pain and pain in the tailbone. Sorry I cant be more help! Just bring it up to your doctor next time you see him, or if you are really worried then give him a call! Good luck!

Yeah, I didn't have any problems with my hips until the end of my pregnancies. Then again, I didn't have to be on my feet all day so I don't know.

Well lauren said something about the uterus being tilted and I looked something up and found that most women's uterus tilts forward but some tilt differently so yours could be tilting back and as it grows, be putting pressure in your lower back and hips. Have you gained any weight yet or signs of a growing tummy? When I was 14 weeks you could tell there was a bun (well buns) in the oven :p and I had alot of back trouble. I'd ask your doc just to be safe though.

Well I have scoliosis as well. So i'm thinking that might be a part of it. I dunno. I've only gained 5 lbs so far.

I also have scoliosis and I had mines corrected. I had surgery and they put metal rods in my back to straighten my spine and I was not able to get an epidural becuz of it. But yeah, scoliosis could be the cause of the pain, especially if you haven't got any treatment.

I have hip and tailbone problems too. I have very small hips (strait and a board!!!) and a curve in my spine which the extra pressure from the baby is causing pain. I've had this pain since 3 months preggy, and I am now 6 months. It will only get worse, and when I mention it to my doc, he just says "well your pregnant". Oh well, standing a long time gets me hurting the most. I think for me its my curved back (have two bad spots) so maybe you should have your back checked out, you might have scoliosis (sp??) like me. I also can't help you on how to releave the pain, cause if I knew I would be a happier person!!!! hope you feel better!!

Not to scare you but I had that problem throughout my whole pregnancy. I was barely comfortable ever, and it felt like my baby was jammed in between my legs. As it turns out I had to have a c-section because my hips were not wide enough to have the baby naturally. How far along are you. I would ask you doctor.. I dont think it is from being on your feet.
