| | | Unstable pelvis | Explanation:
It is quite simply an "unstable pelvis". The term "pelvic instability" is pretty much interchangeable. I think it is due to hormonal release (oxytocin?)in preparation for childbirth, which in extreme cases leads to this condition.

All the other expressions suggested by my fair colleagues are of merit in their own right (or own write if you\'re John Lennon), however \"bækkenløsning\" is \"pelvic instability\" (hence, \"unstable pelvis\" etc). I don\'t much care about the Kudoz points but let\'s be accurate.

42 mins confidence: | | Bækkenløsning/ bækkenet Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction
Explanation:
The two bones at the front of the pelvis (bækken) meet at a joint called the Symphysis Pubis.
This loosens slightly before childbirth, but may loosen too much or too early, causing pain and complication in pregnancy. It may also fail to stabilise fully after childbirth, but normally it becomes stable again after the birth.
It is necessary because of the size of the baby's head, which cannot pass thorugh the normal stable pelvis at birth.

Dorland gives symphysiolysis as separation or slipping of symphyses, especially the symphysis pubis.
This would be the term for the normal state at childbirth, which, I believe, isl aso called \'bækkenløsning\' in ordinary Danish.

This site refers to both unstable pelvis and symphysis pubis problems

*****
Unstable pelvis is also used for this, but not exclusively in connection with pregnancy. (trauma, e.g.) The pelvis is a ring of bones, fused at with other points which can become unstable besides the pubic symphysis. But the natural process gone wild can be what I would call extreme (when the sufferer ends up in a wheelchair for example).
I hate to disagree with anyone, but I\'m fairly convinced that I\'m not wrong. There are often different medical terms for the same thing, depending on whether you are talking to professionals, patients who are more or less lay people etc. Then for various reasons, patients and lay people start using the \'profesional\' terms. So what you use in the end depends on your target group and wider context.
Best of luck!
