Groin Pain in 3rd Tri

Hi Ladies! I am almost 38 weeks, and the past couple of days I have been waking up to extreme groin pain. I can't even get out of bed for my bathroom trips without my DH helping me. Yesterday was the worst by far with the groin pain, sciatica on my right, and a Charlie horse on the left. I was asking my DH to get me a chair with wheels for the next two weeks! Is anyone else experiencing this?

I know the pain is common because the pelvic area is getting ready, but I am not sure if it should be to the point where you can't walk.

TIA!

Sorry you feel this way

I am 37 weeks today and just started getting groin pain. Its minor so nothing compared to what you have. I do get charlie horses almost every morning when i wake up. Bananas help- and lots of water.

I can't imagine how you must feel if you cant walk. Try to take it easy for the next couple of days. Are you still working?

Re: Groin Pain in 3rd Tri

Thanks for the response. I didn't get charlie horses as often as I thought I would (maybe 3-4 the entire pregnancy). I started eating bananas again and drink water alllll day.

I stopped working at 35 weeks because of the sciatica, which comes and goes. I have an appt. on Thurs. and will ask the doctor if the groin pain is normal. It did start out minor but has gotten to the point where I can't move. I really hope it's not a UTI! Hope you are doing well! We're almost there!!
