Anyone getting sciatica pain yet?

[mammag]

I went to stand up yesterday and immediately went right back down with sciatic pain. I tried to get up three times before just giving up. I was alone and it scared me! Is it normal this early? How can I keep it from getting so bad that I can't stand up?

Yep. One of the reasons I tested was hip pain. I guess I produce a lot of relaxin, and one of my first symptoms with all my pregnancies has been hip pain.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Was playing on the floor with DD and went to get up.. NOPE. Couldn't do it. I had it the first time later on in my pregnancy (it started at 27 weeks) so I was kind of appalled that it happened again so soon. Oh the joys of mommyhood.

I'm nearly 5 weeks and getting this although I did suffer mildly before
Hip pain was what made me suspect I might be pregnant as it hadn't gone that far before.
I think it's quite normal though (hopefully! This is my 1st pregnancy and I've done nothing but worry so far!)

Are yous still testing? I made my mum run out and get me more tests today as I'm really nervous, this is my first pregnancy x

I am starting to feel it just a bit at times, I had it pretty bad with both pregnancies.
I am planning to see a chiropractor this time as I have heard it can work wonders!

i have never been pregnant before therefore never had sciatica
where do you feel it? lowers back kind of? close to your butt?
cause i have had a painful lower back

 

[mammag]

It's on one side and shoots down your butt and leg. It's a quick sharp very painful sensation.
