It could be the way he is laying maybe? Could he be trapping a nerve on your left hand side

I have that with pelvic girdle pain (what used to be called SPD). Does you pelvis hurt at other times too or just when you lie on your back?

i had that when i had my '2 week SPD episode' (or whatever it was) round 26-28 weeks - i could lift one leg while lying down but not the other, it felt like my pubic bone was breaking. Luckily it eased off

its only when i lie on my back sometimes when im sat up but not very often
gymbabeliz its sounds exactly the same did you find anything helped it?

I have something similar to this and have done since i found out i was pregnant. in the very bottom of your back/top of bum and i feel like im crippld, just cant move even the slightest movement. im at the MW tomorrow so might ask wat it is.

Try heat things - the ones you put in the microwave - or a hot water bottle. Cold might help too. Keep your legs together when you turn over in bed at night and sleep with a pillow between your legs. Arnica may help.
And don't lie on you back if that hurts.

I forgot to say, make an appointment to go see your doctor!
I waited until I could hardly walk and that was a big mistake. Rest, being off work and wearing the tubigrip and support belt help because I am in less pain than I would be without these things due to moving less. But I'm not getting better at all and I won't until after baby is here. On reflection I very seriously wish I went to the doctor around 3 months before I did. If I had, I might still be able to move around without pain.

what i did was to change my workouts so i didnt train compound exercises on legs....it seemed to stop the problem...i guess that doesnt help you much though it could be being aggravated by activity of some kind though so make sure you're not doing anything that could be causing it
