A member asked:

18 weeks preg, intermittent pain on pubic bone, kind of between legs. what could cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relaxing joints: The pubic bone actually has a joint right in the middle. Normally this never moves because it is very tight. Pregnancy causes a hormone to be released that causes the joints to relax (to help with holding and delivering a bowling ball through your pelvis). This includes the symphysis pubis joint - very painful at times!!!
