Back/hip pain bringing me to tears

[adellademona]

I'm 18 weeks today and lately this pain/ache in my hips and lower back has progressively gotten worse. I was laying down on the bed today and as I tried to turn over there was this white-hot bolt of pain that shot through/across my lower back.and I belive I also experienced round ligament pain at the same time.

Good god it hurt so bad.

And a lot of the time I have this pain in my right leg/hip joint every time I take a step.

What can I do for relief other than taking Tylenol.

Sounds like spd (symphysis pubis dysfunction-give it a google)-im ok so far with this pg at 20 wks but it caught me at 28 weeks last time and about 21 wks with my 1st. Varying degrees of it are possible-some women just have a bit of pain-others wind up on crutches, a support belt can really help and one of the tips a physio will give you is to keep your knees together and swing your legs out of the bed that way. Its an awful pain, i know 😯

The hip pain didn't hit me till 25 weeks last pregnancy. This time, 14 weeks. Sometimes I can't stand up. Sometimes I can't walk. When I can walk, I walk like I'm 90 years old. It's pretty constant and nothing seems to help. I've tried being less active and nothing. Stretching, nothing. More active, nothing. It's just moderate pain all the time. I imagine it will become severe eventually. Sorry I'm no help. Just know you aren't the only one! My back has started hurting pretty badly just recently.

Ive got exactly the same, it was such a shock because i never had it with my first.
My midwife sent me for physio and now at 27 weeks I'm on crutches. Big hugs I feel your pain.

I've been sleeping on a recliner to ease the pain
