Sciatic nerves

Sciatic nerves run along the length of your lower torso to the thighs and feet. The increasing weight of the uterus adds pressure on them, causing pain. This is known as sciatica and you may also feel numb or itchy around the lower torso and thighs. Even though this condition is common during pregnancy, it is better to discuss about this with your doctor, because in certain cases, sciatica may also be caused due to other health issues.

Round ligament pain 

As the uterus expands, the tissues supporting it also get stretched, and this may lead to severe pangs of pain in the hips, lower abdomen and pelvis. The pain may feel sharp or increase when you move positions suddenly.

Relaxin hormone

This is released during pregnancy, in order to relax the tissues and joints in your pelvis and loosen them. It is important for these bones to turn flexible, so that the baby can pass through, during labor phase. All these changes can cause pain in your third trimester. Find out the hormonal effects in pregnancy during third trimester.

Weight and posture changes

The common increase in weight, combined with changes in posture can contribute to hip pain. The growing belly can shift your centre of gravity and with this, your way of sitting, standing or walking may get affected, causing discomforting pain.
