So, I just had my 12 week appointment and while I was there, I told my Dr. that I've been experiencing alot of pain in my hips, groin, and buttocks that gets worse with walking, sitting, and driving. She said that it is normal and is from the hormone that relaxes your pelvic area and gets you ready for delivery. She said that it will likely get worse and to take tylenol and use ice for pain and not to worry. My question is..is it pubic symphysis dysfunction or something that we are all experiencing? She didn't say and didn't seem too concerned, but none of my relatives or friends have had this type of pain..especially this early.
