Cause #2: Pelvic Girdle Pain

Pelvic girdle pain occurs when there is pregnancy discomfort resulting in limitation of movement, instability, or pain from any of three pelvic joints. It is believed to be caused by a combination of factors such as unstable pelvic joints (due to pregnancy hormones), postural changes, changes in center of gravity, and growth of the baby, resulting in varying degrees of discomfort and pain.

Symptoms may begin in the first trimester of pregnancy with pain and tenderness felt over the symphyseal joint. The pain may also be felt in the lower abdomen, groin, hips, and radiate to the inner thighs. Some of those affected may shuffle or waddle with an audible clicking sound from the pelvis.
