Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy: What You Can Do to Feel Better
Hey mama, if you’re wincing every time you roll over in bed or stand up from the couch, trust me, you’re not alone. I hear this almost every day in our office at Blooming Chiropractic here in Costa Mesa:
“I can’t get comfortable at night. My hips ache, my body hurts, and my OB just tells me it’s normal.”
Yes, pelvic pain is common. But that doesn’t mean you have to just live with it.
Why Your Pelvis Feels So Achy
During pregnancy, your body is doing incredible work, growing a tiny human while your own muscles, ligaments, and joints stretch and shift. That hormone relaxin? It’s helping loosen things for birth, but it can also make your hips feel wobbly and sore.
As baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, which puts more pressure on your low back and the joints that hold your pelvis together. Add in a full day of life (work, older kiddos, errands) and it’s no wonder so many moms describe that deep ache in the hips or the sharp twinge when getting out of bed.
Signs It’s More Than “Just Normal” Pregnancy Discomfort
Pain in the pubic bone or groin when you walk or climb stairs
Sharp tugs across the lower belly when you change positions
Achy low back or hips that keep you awake at night
These are all classic signs that your body could use a little extra support.

How We Help at Blooming Chiropractic
When you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the calm, plants, soft music, a space that feels like a deep breath. We create that environment because we know pregnancy can feel anything but calm.
Our prenatal chiropractic care in Costa Mesa focuses on helping your pelvis stay balanced and giving your muscles and ligaments a chance to relax. Many of our moms notice they can finally sleep through the night or walk without that “ouch” in every step.
And we keep it gentle, no big twists or scary moves. Just safe, comfortable care tailored to what your body (and baby) need right now.
Why Balance Matters for Birth
A balanced pelvis doesn’t just help you feel better today; it helps baby find the best position for birth. Moms often tell us labor was easier and recovery smoother because their hips and low back felt strong and supported ahead of time.
