Is it common to have pubic and lower belly pain during pregnancy?

Pain in the lower part of body, in the pubic area, or joint pain in the hips, are very common during pregnancy. There are so many hormonal changes that are happening in your body as the body is getting ready for the baby to be born. The muscles are relaxed to make way for the baby so having pain during pregnancy is natural. However, if it’s causing a lot of discomfort then we teach them some prenatal exercises which provide some relief to the joint pains. They can also use the tummy supporting belts found in the market. Oil massages will also help to some extent, right posture and diets will also help you. Taking adequate calcium supplements along with all mentioned advices will help you to relieve the pain. But even after doing all these things, sometimes you may not get relief from all the pain so you will have to adjust with some discomfort but do what makes you comfortable and find ways to relief the pain.  (Source : Q&A with Dr.Nira from Yoma's insta live session)
