Hi! I'm only 14 weeks prego, but I've been having this pain in my crotch area. It feels like it's bruised (which isn't a possibility)...I was just wondering if anyone has felt this during the second trimester? Everything I've found was about people in their 3rd trimester who's bones were separating...so any ideas???? I'm on my feet a lot, so any advice would help!

Hi, I am in my first trimester and I have the same, except mine feel like mini contractions.  Ever have that?  Does anyone know what that is? 

I am in my 36th week and have had that pain you describe since about the 16th week. I went to the dr back then because it was so bad it was difficult to get in and out of bed, put clothes on, etc...what they told me was that it was so engorged and it was just going to be like that for the pregnancy. But I was assured that it was normal (not everyone gets it, but it does happen). I swear sometimes it felt like someone kicked me down there!!!!  Thankfully, I had a few weeks of relief from it here and there (well it was always painful, but it lessened at times). Now I am at the end of the pregnancy and it is much worse from the baby bearing down. Just hang in there, you do get used to it after a while....Good luck!

hey, im 20 weeks with my second baby! and my first pregnancy was fabulous! and now i have back pain and the same feeling "down there" that you were talking about! it just feels like some one like idk kicked you or something! im not sure how to explain it except that it was hurting one day and was fine after half the day, my husband and i were having sex and right in the middle it just started hurting again and we had to stop cuz i couldnt move:( yeah the doctor told me it was normal too but it sucks!!!!!!!! i dont get the pain often but when i do it HURTSS!!!! but yup thats my input! :)

 sounds like stretching ligament pain. totally normal but uncomfortable. i didn't have those pains with my first pregnancy but have had them quite a bit with this one. not much you can do, just another fun part of pregnancy :)
