It’s hardly a “public area”. Unless it is for this individual?

The baby is likely positioning in preparation for childbirth. The baby’s head is probably putting pressure on the pubic bone.
You’re likely dilated. That happened with my first and I was at a 4.
Good old lightning crotch is what my mom says
With something this important always go to your Dr about concerns you have. Just like everyone is saying.
Extra weight/pressure in that area. It’s normal.
Baby is in position and ready to go.

You are close enough to deliver safely. Ligament pain, Braxton Hicks…
I’m guessing it’s the baby laying on a nerve. But check with your OB/GYN
Consult with a doctor, not people on FB.

Baby pressing on a nerve! Preparing for birth
Get a maturity belt.
I had the same. It’s just the pressure of the baby.
Please ask your doctor. You need professional advice.
Your pelvic bones are probably spreading to make room for the baby to push through.

Hey …Go TO YOUR DOCTOR!
Call your OB not facebook!!
I’d go get checked to be safe
talk to your dr. not the internet
Always consult your doctor.
I’m 26 weeks and it’s the most pain I’ve ever felt! It’s terrible it kills to roll over in bed or get up, and sometimes even walk!
Broken crotch syndrome
Talk to your Dr and have them check your b-hole… I had a hemorrhoid went I went into labor with my son, and the pressure of him coming down through my canal with his big head was so hard, he cracked me through a hemorrhoid between the wall of my b-hole and the inside skin, and I was cracked all the way through to my butt bone. We couldn’t figure out what the problem was while I was in labor, all I could do was scream and cry cause the pain hurt so bad. My 4th week check up after I told my ob the pain I was having and he checked me and he felt the crack, I had to live off of stool softeners and laxitives and vaseline and hemorrhoid cream for about a month till it healed properly so I could go to the back normally
I carried my daughter very low toward the end of my pregnancy and had pains in my pelvic area only when I would stand up so I asked the dr he said it’s because she is pressing on nerves down there.
My pelvis separated about 8 weeks before my last child was due…it was the way he was positioned…I went 6 weeks like until I had him! I was in excruciating pain…I would call your doctor for a check up
Sounds like the baby is sitting in your pubic bone. If you have an exercise ball try sitting in that at different times during the day or while watching TV. Put a pillow between your knees while in bed on your side and change from left to right side periodically. This will help to move the baby. Watch for signs of labor or water breaking. Congratulations!
it the weight of the baby pressing down on the bone and seeing you are fall along the little one is getting ready for delivery
It’s just pressure and the weight of the baby it’s so sore and painful what used to help me was to put a pillow between my legs at night time it eases it a lot the best of luck with the bundle of joy x
Nerve being pressed by pregnancy standing or walking increases pressure
So that’s what you have to read offer?
oh, don’t be such a snob…if you can’t help her, keep your snide remarks to yourself!!
It’s your body preparing to give birth…
I don’t think any of us on here are doctors. My advice, call the doctor.
I would suggest you make an appointment with your ob/gyn doctor immediately!!
Why don’t you ask your doctor rather than put that question to FB 
Public area…hahaha!
look up SPD (pregnancy) as well. I swear it’s what I had with my 3/4. Absolutely horrible. I couldn’t walk
