Groin pain

I'm 38 weeks on Tuesday. Is it normal to have pain in your groin area so bad you can barely walk or anything.!?! It's so horrible. I don't know what to do because I'm trying to stay away from any kind of medication. And idk if I can even get in or out of the bath tub. Please help!

I'm 37 weeks and have been experiencing the same thing since the beginning of my last trimester. It hurts so incredibly bad especially when shifting from a resting position (laying down to sitting, sitting to standing....) and turning the "wrong" way is excruciatingly painful... my doctor just said it was the weight of my baby...  so I guess.

Are you sure they're not contractions? Do you feel like your stomach tenses up and then it goes away? If so, time them and see how far apart they are. If it's not that it could be the baby has dropped and you're feeling a lot more pressure down there.
