MemberSoo….my Munchkin sits very low and now it has begun to hurt! I am 6 months. It hurts when I walk mostly. Is there anyway that I can get any relief? I have threathened hanging upside and shaking her up. lol I have started wearing a belly support band and it helps a little, but I can only imagine how it’s going to be when she gets bigger!
MemberIf there is a way to get relief–I never found it. It happened with Dirty Delete and it’s happening now with #2. And yeah, it gets worse, but the good news is–mine went away with the epidural, and stayed gone.
You can try sleeping with a pillow between your knees at night, that helped me with the middle of the night pain, and having it not be so bad first thing in the morning. Basically, I just gritted my teeth and waited for those last few months to be over.
Member@Quietserenity: yeah, I sleep with the body pillow between my knees at night. It helps then. I so wish that I could alk around with the body pillow all day lol.
Member@PrncssDva: Do you have a belly wedge you use at night? I use my giant u shaped pillow for back support and between my legs, but I also have a wedge I put under my belly. Maybe it would help to relieve the pressure just for a few hours at least and give your muscles a rest?
Member@babybuzz: I do not have one of those. I don’t have pain at night, because I sleep with the body pillow. My pain comes during the day when I am walking.
MemberI was having that same issue yesterday, so I googled it. I ended up laying almost flat on the couch and gently pushed where she was sitting and where it hurt (when I stood up). After a few minutes I could feel her move and she got nestled in another place other than my pelvis. I felt about 90% better after I did that and could stand and walk again without wanting to cry.
Member@jesstagirl: Hummm..I will have to try that when I get home. Thanks so much!
Member@PrncssDva: Hopefully it works for you. I was shocked at how quickly the pain left once I felt her squirming around!

MemberAll that I found that helped me was tylenol when it was too much to bare and warm baths. Mine let up some during month 7 and part of 8. Started back up towards to the end.
Member@PrncssDva: I totally have this, and my baby is also sitting very low. I’ve had it since about 5.5 months. For me, three things work:
The exercise is the most helpful. I stopped them for three weeks while traveling and I could barely walk when I got home. After my first workout class where we do them I was 99% better, so now even when I skip class I do those exercises and I am still able to move around well, even though I have begun to get a bit stiff at night (I’m 8.5 months so almost done!)
Member@Nickles9911: Good one! Thanks. I have a big ball, now I have to go get a small one.
Membersoooooo it is most definitely getting worse. it hurts so badly, that I feel myself waddling some days. I also walk very slow during the worst times. 🙁
Member@PrncssDva: Hang in there, mine got better when my baby dropped! My pelvis right in the front center pops when I sneeze, which is weird, but it doesn’t hurt nearly as much.
Has strengthening your inner thigh muscles helped at all? If the small ball tip doesn’t work for you I saw a youtube video where they did a version of having a person laying on their back put a foam block (or a person making fists one next to the other) between their bent knees and pressing in on it for 10 seconds at a time (can’t do it for long because of the baby on the blood vessel thing, but for a few minutes it’s ok as long as you feel fine).
Member@Nickles9911: I am trying to figure out how the baby dropping works if the baby is already ridiculously low. 🙁
