This is me.

I haven't done anything taxing all day and yet I am in constant pain! I think this may be the point of no return... the point where this isn't fun anymore!

Posterior pelvic pain during pregnancy:
Posterior pelvic pain (in back of the pelvis) is four times more prevalent than lumbar pain in pregnancy. It is a deep pain felt below and to the side at the waistline, and/or below the waistline on either side across the tailbone (sacrum). This type of pain may be experienced on one or both sides.

Posterior pelvic pain during pregnancy can extend down into the buttock and upper portion of the posterior (in back of) thighs, and does not usually radiate below the knees. The pain does not quickly resolve with rest, and morning stiffness may also be present.

I LOVE THIS NEXT PART ...

Posterior pelvic pain during pregnancy can be brought on or exacerbated by the following activities:

  • Rolling in bed

  • Climbing stairs

  • Sitting and rising from a seated position (such as getting in and out of cars, bathtubs, bed)

  • Lifting, twisting, bending forward

  • Running and walking

WHAT ELSE IS THERE????

Unlike many other forms of low back pain during pregnancy, a previous high level of fitness does not necessarily prevent this problem.

WELL THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT BEING OUT OF SHAPE.

I AM FIGURE B, EXCEPT MY BUTT DOESN'T LOOK THAT GOOD (SEE PREVIOUS SENTENCE).

I'm figure B and my butt shape is more like the grey shaded area than the actual line drawing.
