I'm currently 27 weeks, and have felt great up until about a week ago when I stood up after sitting for a while and had sharp stabbing pelvic pains. The pain has continued for most of the last week as a dull pelvic pressure when sitting or standing with stabbing pains when I transition to walking. The pain is temporarily alleviated by yoga/stretching or lying on my side, and I can walk comfortably with minimal dull pain if I go straight from lying down to standing/ walking. I have had no abdominal pain or cramping.

The nurse at my doctor's office sent me to the hospital to be sure that it was not preterm labor. They verified that the baby is fine, I am not dilated, and am not having contractions. Their best advice at the hospital was that it may or may not go away before I give birth!!! I cannot imagine feeling like this for the next 13 weeks.

Up until last week I've been able to maintain my pre-pregnancy activity level with minor modifications. (Vinyasa yoga 2x/week and mile plus walks with our dog daily--just transitioning in the last 3 weeks to prenatal yoga) and would like to keep this up. But weekdays after sitting in the office for long periods (I try to move and walk as much as possible during the day) I feel pretty awful.

Any suggestions?
Thanks, Beth
