Pelvic floor pain is driving me crazy

Please help! I am 19 weeks pregnant and have been feeling okay except the pelvic floor discomfort. I spoke with my doctor and also have an appointment on Thursday but does anyone have any suggestions/ recommendations to help with the pain? I feel it where the hair is mostly on the left side. It’s a constant very strong discomfort that I now have for a week. Everyone is telling me it’s normal and not to worry about the baby. Okay great but every time I walk, sit, lay down, move in any way I feel it. I feel like I’m going crazy.

Anyone had anything similar? How long did it last? Did you do anything that helped?

Thank you ❤️

I would do PT for pelvic floor. I did it after my first baby and it made such a big (great) difference. They will show you exercises you can do at home as well. I’ll do it again after my 2nd.

I had it awful with my first and it has started to become bad with this pregnancy too. Top pain lasted maybe a month but then I was getting big enough that my body was just sore in general all the time. I would sit with support pillows and honestly used a heating pad some. I look forward to pool days where I’m hoping water pressure can ease some discomfort

Can you tell me how this feels different from round ligament because I’ve been having pain too and I think it’s round ligament but not sure.

Sounds like round ligament or pubic symphysis pain. Make sure your legs are together before getting out of bed or out of the car. Definitely agree with pelvic floor physical therapy. I’ve been using the natal app and it helps a ton. No pain so far

im not sure of the difference between round ligament and pubic pain but I’ll let you know what the doctor will say on Thursday

thank you I’ll look into Natal app

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
