Hello, I’m experiencing some pubic joint pain, especially when walking or standing on one leg. I had this sometimes before getting pregnant but I am now worried that it will be problematic during labor and delivery. What can I do to fix the problem?

Thanks

Hi,
This sounds normal and you don't need to be worried! You could try support belt (in finnish it is tukivyö), it supports your lower back, belly and hips. That usually reliefs the pain. If this is not enough, you could ask your nurse if it is possible to visit a physiotherapist.

Try the cow / cat yoga position. Just get on all fourth and make sure not to make a round back. It usually helps shift the baby's weight and takes the pressure from the joint .
