How to relieve pubic bone pain?

I've been feeling a sharp pain in my pubic bone area for a few weeks now. It's especially bad when I walk or change positions. Is this common and what can I do to relieve pubic bone pain?

My mother told me to apply warm sesame oil, but I made sure to ask my doctor first. She explained it is pelvic girdle pain and advised me to keep my knees together when getting out of bed or the car. It really helped reduce that sharp pinch.

If you have a desk job, avoid sitting cross-legged as it unevenly stresses your pelvic bones. I started using a small footrest under my desk to keep my hips level. It takes zero extra time but keeps the pelvic ache in check during long calls.

Oh sweetheart, that pubic bone pressure is the worst, it feels like everything is stretching out! Don't stress too much, it is just the relaxin hormone doing its job to prepare you. Try using a maternity support band to lift the belly weight a bit.

Sleeping with a pillow between my legs was my absolute savior! Also, try putting on your pants while sitting down instead of standing on one leg. Hang in there, you are doing great!

Please don't try heavy pelvic floor exercises or pelvic stretches from online videos without checking. If your pubic joint is unstable, some movements can make the pain much worse. Let your physical therapist or OB-GYN guide you on safe movements.

With my PCOS history, I was already very careful about any pelvic or hormonal pain during pregnancy. I experienced this pelvic ache in my sixth month and found that gentle, slow walking was better than sitting in one place for too long. Just don't push your body too hard.
