pregnancy sciatica???

Spray85

I'm not positive I have sciatica or if its a really bad pulled muscle...hurting from my tailbone through left buttocks and into my thigh. I'm only 12 1/2 weeks pregnant (twins) and I wouldn't think the babies would be big enough to put pressure on my sciatic nerve. Or could they? Has anyone else had this problem?? No numbness just really bad pain with movement and walking. HELP!

I've had the same problem with my last pregnancy from about 15 weeks so yeah they could since there's 2 in there...I've already been experiencing it with this one since about 12 weeks...its sucks bad and there's nothing that can take away the pain

I wish I could do that but I have no ligaments in my right knee so I can't put pressure down on them like that or its extremely painful

i heard that heat pads arent good for you while pregnant because they can raise your core temperature

Thanks, it makes sense now. I'm gonna try the all fours..gosh this really blows lol..I'm a nurse and I bend and squat all day. Guess I need to learn to live with it. Thanks for the comments!
