Hello, I am pregnant with my second baby. I am at almost 26weeks right now, care for my son and work long hours on my feet all of the while as a RN. I am much bigger than when I had my son 15months ago, in that my tummy is noticeably bigger, but not much bigger elsewhere. My fundal height is right on target, sometimes one cm bigger. I have HYPOthyroidism with high TPO antibodies, but am well controlled on relacement. Last bloods this week, fine.

I developed a lot of pelvic pain in the last trimester of my last pregnancy(late on)and was very uncomfortable. This has reoccured this time much earlier.

I am now finding that I am ok if standing etc, but as soon as I try to go to bed, or change position I am in agony! I cannot move my legs apart in bed as it is so bad.. My pelvis feels like it will split in two and I even hear POPPING and Cracking from the pelvic joints.

It feels way to early to feel this, Is it probable that it is Pelvic separation? or do we need to be looking into other things?

thanks for any info/insight

Best Wishes,

Dear KAH,
I'm 25weeks4days, lol and I thought I was alone, I'm getting so
uncomfortable and having trouble bending in the middle(get elbowed),
standing is ok too as long as my bp stays above100, so sitting at the
computer is becoming a new artform and getting strange pains though not
cracking sounds but am very limber and still sit lotis style, propping
myself/belly on pillows and pillow between legs/knees bent& find raising
arms expands chest and takes some pressure off pelvis in
bed.Hypothyroid(off the chart antibodies)well controlled TSH 1.89 endo
just increased Synthroid to 0.88 to keep ahead of things and looking
more like 28weeks though I've only gained5lbs, I have big babies
8&9pounders, and never big weightgain, at that awkward stage where I can
look pregnant or not.....
Take care, you are not alone,
Marie
