Hi, Up until a week ago I wasn't really showing very much just looked like i'd had the extra cheeseburger or 5. Anyway now its really clear, its like I have popped and i hurt, my back has started to ache, but my stomach aches and pulls along the side, I cannot get comfortable at night, I have found lying on my side with a pillow helps but I still ache. I went for a walk today and my hips and pelvis ached, I don't remember it being like this last time until right at the end. anyone else?????????? -------------

| I think it is completely normal. I had these pains this time around, but didn't have them with my first. Think it is cos the muscles have all been stretched so much already . |

Hi!
It's pretty early on for me, but I've had super achy hips and pelvis for 2 weeks now...particularly first thing in the morning! My doctor told me it was the ligaments etc stretching, which was reassuring 
Still hurts though!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi FionaO,
You aren't the only one, I am experiencing the same thing. I have found that heat or a bit of massaging to move baby seems to ease it a bit. I have been measuring tummy for a bit of fun and am currently growing at a rate of about 1cm per week. Suppose it should come as a surprise that my muscles are aching with that amount of stretching going on. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

If your hips and pelvis are really sore it might be worth getting it looked at. My first pregnancy I had a lot of pain in my lower back and pelvis and put up with it thinking it was 'normal' pregnancy pain. But turns out my hip was out all along  Caused a lot of problems in the months after birth too before I finally saw a chiropractor and got it sorted.
This time I'm going to the chiropractor regularly - my hip is already causing problems at 17 weeks - pelvis and back pain again. My chiropractor puts everything back in the right place every few weeks and there are certain things I need to do/avoid to not make it worse. And have a belt to wear to hold my pelvis together lol. Anyway, point is if you are in lots of pain don't put up with it thinking it's normal like I did! |
