Pain in upper inner thigh during pregnancy - is this common?
This is my 2nd pregnancy (25 weeks now), and I am having pretty bad pain in my inner thighs (around the joint where my pubic area meets my upper thigh) a lot of the time. Mostly it hurts when I try to lift one leg at a time - e.g., when walking, turning over in bed, and getting out of the car. But I don't find it gets better or worse based on whether I am active (I take yoga classes and do the elliptical machine and some weights at the gym). I also had some outer thigh/hip pain earlier but that has gotten better in the past few weeks.
I found a reference online to something called Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction, but I have no idea whether that's what this is. Just wanted to check to see if anyone else has experienced this.... is it normal? Should I call my OB/midwife? Anything I can do to relieve the pain? It's just odd to have a new symptom that I never experienced or even heard of during my first pregnancy!
Thanks!!
