I suffered from pain like that the whole end of my pregnancy. my dr ended up giving me some pain med and muscle relaxers cause it got so bad it was tp the point that I couldn't even walk. I would just call ur dr to reassure urself. but it sounds like hip/ joint pain that comes with the end of pregnancy.  hope u feel better soon.

sounds like Pubic Symphysis Diastasis. a friend of mine had this with both of her pregnancies and had to take sick leave due to the pain. i'd put a call into your doctor but you can also google it if you need some reassurance now.

Me too having terrible leg cramps including neck pain...They attack me at bed time only.... I use some balm to ease my pain or ask my hubby to massage....present am at home and away from all work...just taking care of cooking part as I feel like doing some thing would keep me busy...and temporarily slowdown my cramps...

Do you ever get leg cramps. ? I get a lot of them when I sleep. I'm 34 weeks and usually just toss and turn throughout the night. They say the left Is best to sleep on to give the baby better circulation . When I get the pains I usually stop what I'm doing (which is walking) and just take a minute to let them go away. If you get the chance sit down and rub it as well. I just stopped working (maternity leave) 2 days ago so I've always been up on my feet this whole pregnancy. What about u? Are u getting enough rest like u should ?

Thanks marisol. Is there any way to deal with this pain... Wil u suggest particular sleeping position... I sleep on my left side.. But when I try to move my right leg it hurts...

Hey I just wanna say that I get those same pains I think its normal its like your joints. I can't be too sure but I just deal with it . But I think if it gets to the point where u can't handle it then go see your doc asap.

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for ur response. Am 26 year old and this is my first pregnancy. I was fine and every this was normal till yesterday. suddenly yesterday night I felt some pain thought that It wil go away... But it's stable and hurting me till now...

Is this your first pregnancy?
If it is not did you have  a c section for your previous births??
If you had a  c section is there any pain at your incision site??

If you have a previous c section you should go see your doc, just to make sure everything is alright.  

Since the pain sounds like it would be too low for incision pain if you have had one, it just might be nerve pain.  

You can try to get in to see your doc sooner than your appointment it may set your mind at ease.
