Early pregnancy symptoms

Pelvic/lower abdomen pain, doctor won’t listen

I’ve had this pain since I was 14, on and off. I’ve talked to many doctors about it and haven’t been able to get many of them to help me. If I push down on my lower abdomen, usually more on my right side, it hurts. If I cough, sneeze, sit down too hard or move positions in bed too roughly, it hurts really badly. Not to mention sex is so incredibly painful I can hardly bear it. I’ve been checked for endometriosis, sti’s, yeast and bv, given stool softeners, they’ve checked for cysts, nothing. This was an on and off issue but now that I’m pregnant it’s gotten worse. It hasn’t gone away since about 15 weeks, I’m now 24. The baby started kicking at about 18 weeks and as he gets bigger, the more painful it is. My doctor keeps telling me to just deal with it until after I have the baby but I don’t know if I’ll be able to. It’s already affecting my quality of life at this early, I can’t imagine when the baby gets even bigger. Has anyone else experienced this? Trying to figure out what I should do. I don’t know if I need a referral to a pelvic floor doctor but that’s what I’m thinking I should do. Is that safe during pregnancy? Advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Early pregnancy symptoms

Pelvic pain

I have extreme pain with my first two which drs would tell me it’s round ligament pains. Literally every single one brushed it off. It’s literally in my groin area. It’s staring way early in my 3rd pregnancy. It happens after resting and the worst when I wake up! I’m unable to move from the pain and I’m wondering if there’s any advice y’all might have for me. TIA

Pregnancy symptoms

Mystery pelvic pain that could be pelvic floor related.

I have been tested for utis which are all clear, vaginal swabs which are clear. I am having a feeling that I need to urinate, heaviness just above my public hone and burning sensations pretty much all day. It’s so hard to live with max I can’t work out any triggers. The only thing that alleviates strangely is sitting on the bath in my towel and have the bath edge push up into that area. Could this be a pelvic floor issue? There’s so many similar conditions so finding it so hard to get relief. I’ve had it for 2.5 weeks And had ab attack like this that went away in January. I have been to see a pelvic floor physio and she wasn’t sure but said I might have a very mild prolapse after childbirth but then saw a urogyn and she disagreed. Any advice on this would be so helpful and if this sounds like a pelvic floor issue?

Hey 👋 quick question

Since having my son 1.5 years ago when I need to pee, I really need to pee. Like I don't have much time before it's go time 🙃 is this something that can be strengthened with pelvic floor exercises?
