Pains in the pelvis after being on the birthing ball?

[Mummy_to_be87]

I find sitting on my birthing ball helps ease pains in my back and hips and is much more comfortable than sitting on a chair or sofa, but this morning I was doing some work at the table and was sitting on the ball for about half an hour at the most and when I went to get up, I felt some really sore shooting, stabbing pains inside my pelvis and it took me a few minutes to stand up straight, even then I had to grab a chair to catch my breath. I didnt like it one bit, anyone experiencing this?

I think so too

Tonight I leaned forward and tried to pick up something at my feet and felt a 'pop' down there, I was so worried I had broken my pelvis or my waters had popped!!

Yeah sometimes my hips just hurt more after sitting on the ball, but I still think it's a good thing since the hips are supposed to widen to make room for the baby.
