Understanding the area
What is pregnancy pelvic girdle pain (PGP/SPD)
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)—sometimes called symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD)—describes discomfort around the joints at the front or back of the pelvis during pregnancy.
​
It may be felt near the pubic bone, hips, lower back, groin or upper thighs, particularly during weight-bearing or uneven movements.
Front: pubic joint
Back: SI joints
Common areas where pregnancy-related discomfort may be felt.
03
Why it may happen
Why pelvic pain may happen during pregnancy.
Pelvic discomfort rarely comes down to one factor. Your posture, joint movement and muscle demand can all change as pregnancy progresses.
01
Posture changes
A changing centre of gravity alters how your spine, hips and pelvis share everyday movement.
02
Pelvic joint movement
Pregnancy-related changes can affect how evenly the joints at the front and back of the pelvis move.
03
Changing muscle demand
Core, hip and gluteal muscles may work differently to support your growing body and daily routine.

Questions mothers ask
Frequently asked questions.
Severe, sudden or concerning symptoms should be discussed promptly with your maternity care provider.
1. Is chiropractic care suitable during pregnancy?
Suitability depends on your individual situation. Pregnancy- adapted positioning and low-force techniques may be considered after an assessment, with referral or coordination when needed.
2. Why does my pubic bone hurt during pregnancy?
Pain near the pubic bone may be related to pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Changes in body weight, posture and how the pelvic joints move can contribute. Previous back or pelvic pain may also increase the likelihood. However, pelvic pain has several possible causes, so new or troublesome symptoms deserve assessment.
3. Why is my pelvic pain worse when walking, climbing stairs or turning over in bed?
These movements involve shifting weight onto one leg, changing position or moving the legs apart. They commonly aggravate PGP. Reducing repeated movements that trigger pain and changing how you perform everyday tasks may help. Difficulty walking, using stairs or turning in bed is a reason to seek assessment.
4. Will pelvic and pubic pain go away after giving birth?
PGP often improves after birth, but recovery is not always immediate and some people have ongoing symptoms. Persistent or worsening pain should be assessed, especially if it limits walking or daily activities. Postnatal support may include tailored rehabilitation and investigation of other causes when necessary.
