pressure pain in pelvic floor region

[nnaime]

Hello ladies,

I apologize in advance for tmi reasons.

For the past few days I will feel as if I have the urge to go #2 and upon attempting there was a pain like a sharpish pressure pain in vag/rectum/pelvic floor. A few days later the pressure pain has started popping up randomly when walking or stretching out my legs. I'm only 13 weeks and I'm pretty confused about this. Could be mild constipation?
Will call Dr tomorrow when they're open but for now is there anyone with a bit of advice??

That does sound like constipation to me. I get sharp pains like that when I have constipation/trapped wind too.

Thank you. This is new to me, never quite had this problem before.
What would be good options to relieve constipation? Is milk of magnesia safe?

I use glycerin suppositories, those are the best for me. They work within 5 minutes and they're safe during pregnancy. The other thing you can definitely have in pregnancy is lactulose, but it takes a few days of having it twice a day before it gets going.

My doctor told me to try metamucil. It seems to work ok but I would definitely ask your doctor before you take anything.
