I have recently learned of something called symphasis pubis dysfunction. It is when there is severe pelvic and groin pain during and sometimes after pregnancy. I believe that I have this problem. From what I gather off the internet, most US doctors don't really recognize this as a major problem, but in Britain there a lot more resources for the condition.

If another mom hadn't mentioned this on another board that I have visited, I probably wouldn't have found any info on it. Supposedly many doctors think that this is just a regualr part of pregnancy. But severe pain should not be a "regular" symptom.

Just this morning I woke up hardly able to walk from the pain in my groin and hips. It's just awful. And now I have to go to work and stand on my feet all day. There isn't much I can do for it either, short of seeing a chiropractor which my insurance probably won't cover.
