Pain In The Butt (literally)

I can't even believe I am posting this but I guess where else could I ha ha

For the past few days I have had a horrible pain in my left tush cheek its definitely in the muscle-ish area but it is killing me..

any thoughts or suggestions? I am 16 weeks and barely showing so I didn't assume sciatica...

Re: Pain In The Butt (literally)

it is probably sciatica...my sisters had it worse when she wasn't even showing! the good news is it just went away one day! Feel better and try to avoid sitting too long.
Laying on your side with a pillow between your legs is the best position

Rebecca,

I had the same thing at around 14 wks. It ended up going away in a few days. If it doesnt go down your leg, it prob isnt sciatica.

I just found my old post on it, with responses.

Hope this helps!

I think it might be sciatica. I know that early on (i was not showing at all less than 12 weeks) I had severe pain in my right butt cheek. It hurt to walk for any period of time. I know it sounds strange but your body is readjusting itself and even though you are not showing, your body keep changing.

Hope pain goes away soon!

I had the same pain around the same time, it went away around 20 something weeks, I had it with both my pregnancies, the joys of pregnancy
