I had what I delicately referred to as 'vagina bone' pain. I seriously felt like my vagina bone was breaking in half. Started early and continued until she was born. For me is was worst when I was standing for long periods of time or laying down. I ached like crazy when I woke up in the mornings.

I also had bad vagina bone pain. But it didn't cause pressure in my bowel area...

I would definitely go back in for follow up urinalysis. At 32 weeks I had a really bad UTI that actually caused me to have bleeding and contractions. I had to do two rounds of antibiotics because the first kind didn't work.

@HappyJax: just during the day. Other times it hurt was going from sitting to standing, and when putting pressure on one leg.

@HappyJax: I have had the same kind of pressure from pretty early on. I have a short torso, and my placenta is up top so she pretty much chills out at the bottom and feels like she's sitting on my pelvic bone a lot of the time. My pressure is more in the front, so on my bladder and pelvic area not bowels, but I totally get what you're talking about. It's pretty bad when I'm standing, walking, or turning over in bed, and I hate to say it but its gotten worse every week of my pregnancy! Tying to work has been tough, and I don't even enjoy shopping anymore!

I second the recommendation to get a support band if it really bothers you. I never got one because I'm a cheapskate, but I do know that if I lift and hold my belly when it gets painful, the pressure and pain is relieved.

@HappyJax: I felt like this as well, kind of like my pelvis/hips/pubic bone etc were just going to fall apart. I was talking with my Doula about it and she recommended me to a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy, she has made an absolute world of difference in how I feel. I rarely feel the vag bone splitting apart pain and no longer feel as though I could just fall apart with the wrong move.

I hadn't been to a chiropractor previously and was a little bit hesitant but all I know is I feel like a new woman! Long story short and not sure if it's your thing or not but thought I would let you know what helped me. Hope you're feeling better and congratulations!

Oh, I also sleep with a Snoogle and I think it helps too?

@Mrs. Lovejoy: In regards to the adjustments for pubic bone my chiro uses the little tapper hammer (totally the technical term for it!) usually on the left side and middle of my pubic bone (doesn't get near to my actual vagina at all). The first two times she did it she had me ice it in the evening for an hour with 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off. I can't believe how good I feel. Glad to hear after just one adjustment you can feel the difference! Good luck with the vag bone pain, I hope it dissipates quickly.
