Navigating Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy

Pregnancy Health | Pelvic Pain | 30/7/2025

What are we talking about?

Experiencing pelvic pain during pregnancy can be unsettling, but it's a natural part of your body's transformation. Many expecting mothers go through this as their bodies adjust to accommodate the growing little one inside them. There's no need to feel isolated in this experience; you're part of a vast community of mothers who share this common journey.

Why is it important?

At the heart of these changes is the hormone relaxin, which increases in your body during pregnancy. This hormone plays a significant role by loosening the ligaments in your pelvis, preparing your body for childbirth. This necessary adaptation can lead to discomfort, as the enhanced flexibility in the pelvic area might feel unfamiliar and possibly painful at times.

Some mothers describe it as a dull ache, while others might experience sharp pains during movement.
Activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even just turning over in bed can trigger these sensations.
Such discomforts are usually temporary and often subside after delivery.

How do you do it?

Understanding the root cause of pelvic pain can empower you to manage it effectively. Maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle can help alleviate the intensity of the pain. Consider speaking with your healthcare provider to find tailored recommendations that suit your specific needs. They might suggest simple adjustments like wearing a supportive belt or incorporating gentle prenatal exercises. Moreover, incorporating practical strategies like using pregnancy pillows and practicing prenatal yoga can make a significant difference.

What if you don’t (or want to go further)?

If pelvic pain persists or seems unusual, consulting with a healthcare provider is crucial. If left unaddressed, severe pelvic pain could impact your daily activities and overall comfort. In addition to standard practices, exploring holistic options, such as acupuncture or seeking professional guidance in physical therapy, can provide extra support. Engaging with maternal support groups, whether online or in person, offers shared wisdom and enhances the journey into motherhood.
