What does pubic pain feel like?

Many people may not have experienced pubic pain, so they don’t know what it feels like. But for most women who have been pregnant, pubic pain should be an unforgettable pain. When a woman is pregnant, her body will gradually be unable to bear the weight of the baby growing in her belly, so the pubic bone will experience pain. So what does pubic pain feel like?

1. What does pubic pain feel like?

Mother A: I didn’t feel any pain during my first pregnancy. My second baby started to hurt when I was less than four months old. I thought there might be something wrong with the baby, so I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said there was nothing wrong. But the pain was so severe that it was uncomfortable to turn over, so I have reduced walking and exercise and just lie down.

Mother B: I also had pubic pain with my first child, but it only started to hurt when I was about eight months pregnant. The baby weighed 25 pounds and was delivered by caesarean section. My second child's pubic bone hurt when he was 5 months old, and I had a caesarean section 20 days before delivery. However, the constant pain in my pubic bone made me want to cry, and I couldn't even walk. My husband said I looked like a penguin, and it was excruciatingly painful when I turned over in my sleep. Every day felt like a year, and I really wanted to have a caesarean section as soon as possible.

Mother C: My pubic bone started to hurt when I was five months pregnant. I read that some people still had pain more than a year after giving birth naturally, so I decisively chose a caesarean section because I was too afraid of the pain in my pubic bone. As a result, I had two caesarean sections, both times I gave birth to daughters. Now I am even more afraid of the pain of caesarean sections.

Mother D: My buttock bones hurt so much that sometimes I can’t even straighten my back. It’s so painful that it makes me cry.

Mother E: I didn’t have any pubic bone pain with my first pregnancy, but now it’s been extremely painful in the last few days of my second pregnancy. It’s hard for me to turn over and walk. It’s really painful.

Mother F: The pubic pain is better when I walk, but sleeping is terrible. I have to scream when I turn over. Moreover, I have to pee a lot at night and have to get up 3 or 4 times a night.

2. How to relieve pubic pain

1. You can choose a belly support belt. With the help of the belly support belt, the pressure of the fetus on the pubic bone can be reduced. This is a relatively effective and simple method. Note: When choosing a belly support belt, the size needs to be appropriate and not too tight. Too tight will compress the fetus and affect blood circulation in the lower limbs.

2. When sleeping, put something between your legs, such as a pillow. This can relieve pressure on the pubic bone.

3. When sitting, you can put a cushion under your waist and avoid sitting with your legs apart. When standing, stand with both legs symmetrically, try to exert force evenly on both legs, do not stand for long periods of time, and reduce movements such as climbing stairs. Choose flat shoes.

4. Do not lift heavy objects and do appropriate back massage.
