Pelvic pain?

So I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and this is my first child! For almost a week now, I've been having extreme pelvic pain on and off. Especially when I stand and walk! It hurts so bad when I get up just to walk to the bathroom! I've spoken to the doctor and they think it's my round ligaments that are pulling because the baby is getting lower now. But it just doesn't seem right! I'm still working, and I work in retail... I wanted to continue working atleast until I am in labor so I can spend all my time with my when I take my maternity leave. I don't even know what to do. Sometimes I'm in so much pain that I just cry myself to sleep! The pain usually comes in waves and lasts 15-30 minutes. Supposively it's normal, but is anyone else experiencing this? Should I be concerned? Should I just go to the Emergency room? I can feel my baby move all the time, and I'm not leaking or have any drainage... It just throws me off.

i had the same thing with this pregnancy :-/ it def sucks... mine started around 33wks and i still have it.. im having mine on wed(12/12) & the dr said its perfectly normal & its just round ligament pains...im still working & just try to work thru the pain.. it def sucks. the best thing i can tell you to try at night is a body pillow or a pillow between your legs to try to relieve the pressure..

That really sucks! I'm due January 23rd and that seems so far away at this point lol. I work in retail so im really struggling with that part right now. I'm definitely going to try a body pillow... hopefully it will be a life safer to help me sleep better. Is there anything that helps when you're walking or on your feet for long periods of time?
