What is pelvic girdle pain?Some pregnant folks may develop pelvic pain in pregnancy. This is sometimes called pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) or symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). PGP is a collection of uncomfortable symptoms caused by a stiffness of your pelvic joints or the joints moving unevenly at either the back or front of your pelvis. Symptoms of PGPPGP is not harmful to your baby, but it can be painful and make it hard to get around. Pregnant people with PGP may feel pain:
Some pregnant people may feel or hear a clicking or grinding in the pelvic area. The pain can be worse when you're walking, going up or down stairs, standing on 1 leg, turning over in bed or moving your legs apart.
