Hello,

During this 36th week of pregnancy, the baby may engage the head lead to pelvic pain and pressure. There isn't a lot you can do in the way of prevention for pelvic pain during pregnancy, but there are ways to alleviate it.

First, you can try a pelvic support belt to help take some of the pressure off of your groin. Also, you can try taking a warm bath or getting a prenatal massage to soothe muscles. You need to consult your gynecologist she will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
