What Is The Treatment For Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy?
Hi, I m 36 weeks pregnant and concerned about my health. I ve been having pelvic pains for several weeks now and was unable to get physio because it was too late. I m not sleeping at all as my pelvis is clicking and my legs lock up in bed and I m having to hold onto my radiator to get out of bed in the mornings and to help me move my legs. This pain is affecting me both physically and mentally as I m constantly feeling low aswell as being in alot of pain. My pelvis can t cope with the weight any longer and I m afraid of it cracking or breaking which is making me very apprehensive about labour. Will my doctor induce me at 37 weeks for this?

Hello,
Welcome to this forum.
A pelvic pain is not uncommon in late trimester when your fetal head enters into your pelvis. It compresses the pelvic structures towards periphery, which could cause such a pain. Along with , are there any possibilities of constipation or urine infection inside you, which could cause this sort of pain?
However, just start to taking seitz bath twice a day. This could be done by sitting inside a bucket full of warm water upto your umbilicus.
Next, rule out whether you have any constipation or urine infection.
As this is mostly physiological, your doctor will unlikely induce you at 37 weeks for this. You can try Advil 650 mg which is an OTC drug, for pain relief as SOS basis.
However,please contact your OBG consultant if you feel any form of intense pelvic pain, tightening of abdomen along with discharge per vagina ; which signifies the onset of labour
Sincerely,
