Ligaments v. Nerves: During pregnancy, hormones cause ligaments to loosen. Eventually this will help make the pelvis pliable enough for baby to push its way into the world.Unfortunately, ligaments have little nerves inside them that can stretch, causing pain. Also, loosened ligaments allow bone to shift & pinch nerves. Increasing girth also stretches other nerves.A good physical exam and osteopathic treatment may help
