Q: I Am About to Go Crazy With This Constant Pain

I am 34 weeks along and am in severe pain! Shocked

the pain is in my vagina it feels like I have been kicked as hard as someone possibly could kick me. I started having this pain at 3 months along and its only gotten more sever. I feel like I am loosing my mind since I am in constant pain. It doesnt help to lay down, sit down, walk, stand nothing helps! I drive 2 hours to go to a better facility since I live farther out in rural minnesota. When I first felt the pain I went to the local clinic and the doctor sent me home with vicotin. This did not touch the pain whatsoever and with concerns from my mother I decided to not take the painkiller after only taking it a few times. When I returned to my doctor in mpls. She recently under much much coaxing finally sent me to an orthopedic specialist. The specialist took an x-ray of my pelvis which also concerned me because I thought being pregnant you weren't supposed to have x-ray's. She found nothing and sent me away in tears with a perscription for a walker. Please! If there is anyone that can give me any kind of answers I am about to go crazy with this constant pain I need heeeeeeeeeeeelp! Sad

My friend had the same kind of pain while she was pregnant, and the doctor said it was normal. It stopped after she had the baby.

Your right x rays are a horrible idea while you are pregnant. There is a possibility that these pains are normal but I would continue to harass your doctor and make it clear that this pain is absolutely unbearable and they must do something about it asap (caps). Your pregnancy is supposed to be joyous. How can you enjoy it, while in so much pain.

I also had a pain like that when I was pregnant. I couldnt poop because the pain would be 10 times worse and felt like it was going to paralize me. But I found that I was serviously bound up and I took laxatives to clean me out good. Yes it hurt but once all of it was out. I didnt have the pains again. I guess if you dont make sure your cleaned out good or having regular bowel movements when your pregnant...You get bound up bad. I would maybe try this method with the ok from the doctor. Hope this helps.

I've been having those pains also. And I was just recently at the doctor on friday and he told me to blame it on the hormones. And also told me to take a warm bath. And that seems to help me a little bit!

When I first suspected my pregnancy, is when I missed my period. A few weeks later I started getting those pains. I went to my doctor in new orleans and he told me it was called thrush...Its when the mussles your vagina a constantly contracting. Be sure to take a shower every night before you go to sleep. Bacteria builds up and causes it to contract. Dont ask! Lol...It was the most uncomfortable pain I had ever experienced in my entire life. It hurt worse than anything!!! After a while...It went away!! I hope this helps. Mention thrush to your doctor and see what he/she says.

I am 37 weeks and had this for about a month from 3-4 months. Luckily, it went away. My Dr. Told me it is varicose veins in the vulva and it is fairly common. He told me to wear tight underwear or panty hose for support and elevate your feet whenever possible. I have a stool at work and keep my feet elevated all day long and I think this has really helped. Good luck with your pregnancy and I hope you feel better.
