Hip/Leg Pain (perhaps sciatic nerve?)

loblob
in August 2011 Moms

The last couple of nights I've had very very bad pain in my hips when I am in bed that feels like its radiating down my leg and ends in my ankle.   I described it to my doctor and she said it could possibly be sciatic nerve pain.  She noted that I'm feeling this very early in my pregnancy than usual. 

Anyone else here already?  

I found a random way to cure it though that I thought I'd share.  I sleep on a maternity pillow like the one below.  When my back was against the pillow,  tons and tons of hip pain.  When my stomach was against the pillow,  I felt perfectly fine.  Weird, Weird, Weird

    My hips hurt a lot and I'm way behind you. It's not so much a pain that moves down my legs though.

    Lol. I totally agree.  This pillow seriously works though.  I could not sleep on my side without it.

    I have had some pain in my hips as well. I started to do the Crunch: Yoga Mama prenatal yoga DVD and it's helped a lot! I have it on my Netflix instant queue. There is a few hip moves that really loosen everything up relieving pressure. Maybe check with your doc first to make sure it won't do any more harm. Feel better soon!

    Sweet.  Thanks! I've been wanting to do some prenatal yoga, but wasn't sure any was available in my area.  Great to know that I can watch it for free on netflicks with my Wii!!!

    I had sciatic pain when pregnant with my DS.  My dr suggested I get a prenatal massage and it helped tons!  I also have that pillow and love it!
