Groin Pain in Early Pregnancy (5 Weeks): Causes & When to Worry

Question
I am having pain in my groin area. I am only 5 weeks pregnant. Is it to early for round ligament pain?

Answer
Yes, this is early for both round ligament or pelvic instability pain. Sometimes groin pain can be caused by a sprain of the inner thigh muscles.

If your pain continues, or gets worse, or if you feel it while you do specific movements, can a referral to a PT who specializes in prenatal problems. She can give you an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

You don't want to go through your entire pregnancy with a problem like this, as it will prevent you from getting the exercise that both you and developing baby need to optimize health.
