Ouch...

Anyone else have a baby that has decided to lay on your Sciatic nerve? I know hip pain is normal but I was having extreme pain in my right hip to the point that standing up and setting down about put me in tears. I called my doctor and they told me that the baby was on my Sciatic nerve and that I could take Tylenol or start physical therapy. Wow, I never thought pregnancy would mean I would need physical therapy!!! The past 2 nights I have started to sleep with a pillow between my knees which seems to help so far. Please tell me, I'm not the only one!?!?!

Re: Ouch...

  • Last pregnancy it happened very early on, to the point I couldn't lift myself off the floor.  This time around it's just been hip pain, but I can walk through it.  I think the pillow helps a lot for me too, and lay on the opposite side of the pain for a while too.
