    Or Neither??
    23 weeks pregnant and having occasional hip discomfort and aching in my buttocks. One side is worst than the other, neither side is intolerable. I am wondering if I should see a Physical Therapist? Chiropractor? Or if it is JUST a part of pregnancy and I should save my money and handle it the best I can on my own. Experience or Thoughts? thank you

    It's most likely just a normal pain and ache that develops with being pregnant. If the discomfort continues after a few days, you might consider talking to someone who specializes in physical therapy for pregnant women.

    What happens to a woman's body during pregnancy is pretty amazing. What you are experiencing could be due to the increased weight on your back/glutes, but also may be because your body is increasing hormones that relax ligaments during pregnancy. This happens to allow the woman's body to give birth. Strong ligaments would make it exceedingly hard to give birth.

    What i would do is do a series of prenatal exercises. This helps quite a bit.
