Sciatica ?
Hi mummies. I am about 9 weeks pregnant now and i am experiencing a pain on my right butt cheeks. Its painful. ? It is normal? I googled and it stated sciatica pain. But I am not sure. Best to ask experience mummies. Thank you ❤️
Yes I had that too. Unfortunately, it stays for the whole pregnancy 😭 And while I mostly had it on the right side, there were days where I had it on both sides and was limping in pain at work. After giving birth, the pain went away instantly when I was by myself, but came back occasionally when I was carrying baby in my arms for the first 1-2 months. Unfortunately, pregnant women can’t take medicine for nerve pain, so I had to rely on paracetamol, which helped sometimes. I experimented and learnt that walking with the whole leg rotated inwards (meaning your right foot pointed towards the left side) made it easier. Avoid stairs if you can. I had to take stairs every day and the pain was terrible, especially when walking down.

Do check with doctor or read the packaging label before using medicated balm or patch. I remember not using as those products always label as not suitable for pregnant women.
Hey, I would say better to check with your gynae for this as there are man balms in the market which are not suitable for pregnancy.
I had this with my first too. Tigerbalm patch works wonder hehe
Really?! I shud invest to the patch hahahaha thank you. Ive been putting some hot oil but it still hurts. I have to "carry" my right butt up! Hahahaha thank you so much!
