A member asked:
Is it normal to have so much discomfort in the pelvic area at 33 weeks?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably: The hormone substance called relaxin softens the normally rigid connections of the many bones comprising the apparently-solid pelvis and this can cause significant discomfort. This can make the difference in a successful vaginal delivery instead of a c-section. Check with your doctor and if you get reassurance, try to accept these changes as part of a normal process.

See below: Yes this is very common but you should be checked for preterm labor so see your ob/gyn.
