Patient stories consistently reveal healthcare teams thinking this is just pregnancy pain, whatever that is. The killer statement I hear too often is, ‘It hurt so much I couldn’t even lift my baby.’ If the back or hip pain is so bad that a mother can’t lift her baby, you need to do something about it."
