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.
