What Causes Extreme Pressure And Pain In The Pelvic Region During Pregnancy?

I'm 7 months pregnant and I was just wondering if it was normal to feel an extreme amount of pressure and pain in my pelvic region at this point? For example: when I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom I stand up and it feels like a bowling ball just dropped on my pelvis and its so much pain and pressure that I barely make it to the bathroom, or after a nap and I feel it, or when I walk for more then 10 mins.

WELCOME

AS YOU ARE TELLING, SUCH AMOUNT OF EXTREME PAIN IS NOT COMMON IN PREGNANCY...

YA SOME AMOUNT OF HEAVINESS IN PELVIS IS COMMON DUE TO BABY WEIGHT AND DISTENDED ABDOMEN...

BUT FOR SUCH PAIN, THE CAUSE MUST BE SAUGHT OUT..
GET SONOGRAPHY DONE TO DETECT ANY OTHER ABNORMALITY THAT CAN CAUSE TOO MUCH PELVIC PAIN..

THANKS
