@fit_mom, that's TOTALLY what happened to me. It started with pain right in the middle of my pubic bone (like a dull achey feeling), and then as the baby got bigger he started pressing on a nerve inside my pelvis and it caused shooting, tingly pain from my right hip socket down to my knee. I had a pretty easy pregnancy, but that pain was nagging and annoying and it would catch me off guard!

Oh--and in regards to getting out of bed: rather than getting out with one leg and then the other; try putting your knees together and swinging both legs out of bed at the same time. That helped me a lot. If I got out of bed one leg at a time I would get a shooting pain that felt like I was getting a zap of electricity. Ouch!!!

@ciraclesmiracle, thanks! I just get so worried and even this morning cooking breakfast my hip joint started burning where it normally hurts. I'm just ready for the baby go grow and get out of me. 😂

It sounds like Pelvic Girdle Pain--I had it during my pregnancy and it's very uncomfortable. I would get shooting pains when I got out of bed or the car. It's really common, but unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do for it. The best thing you can do is to remain moderately active (I walked a lot), but avoid heavy weight-bearing activities and things that aggravate the pain. It helped me a lot to sleep with a pillow between my legs to keep my pelvis in better alignment. The good news is that it resolves on its own after pregnancy. I got some tingly nerve pain, and it got worse as the baby got bigger, but it's totally resolved now. It did take a few months for the tingly/numbness in my leg to go away, but now at 6mo postpartum it's all better.
