Both hip and low back pain are common during pregnancy or postpartum period. We report two rare cases, whose pain symptoms started during the last trimester of pregnancy. Both patients had similar clinical picture, but careful analysis helped us diagnose pregnancy-associated inflammatory sacroiliitis in the first case, and sacral stress fracture in the second.
