Possibly: Pregnancy brings about a lot of body changes. One of these is a relaxing hormone that helps the pelvis stretch for the delivery. This can cause some other areas to stretch and become painful. Taking care of a new baby can put a lot of stress on areas that you haven't used much before. Pregnancy sometimes brings out an underlying arthritis problem. If this keeps up get it checked out.
