Pelvic pain in pregnant women

Home > Conditions > Pregnancy > Pelvic pain in pregnant women

Pain in the spine, pelvis or the symphysis pubis (pubic bone) during or after pregnancy may be symptoms of pelvic torsion. During pregnancy, a distinction in hormones (relaxin) allows ligaments in the pelvic ring to become elastic. In some women, this can be as painful. The pain is usually related to stress and localised to the pelvic joint and pubic bone. Radiating pain to the buttock region and legs are not uncommon, nor referred pain up the back to the neck and shoulder region. The pain increases during the day and movement and strain can aggravate it. Such as walking, standing, turning in bed, lifting, and carrying. The symptoms often reduce with rest.
