Sciatica pain

Any of u suffered sciatic pain from butt cheeks until thigh? Pain escalated within 2 days I can no longer walk. I known preggy ladies are prone to having backaches but not to the extend they can’t walk. Why does mine feel so serious?

Sciatica during pregnancy can actually get really bad really fast. As your belly grows, the uterus puts extra pressure on the sciatic nerve, and on top of that your ligaments are loosening due to the hormone relaxin, which can make everything feel so much worse! But if you literally cannot walk within 2 days, this is beyond normal pregnancy backache and you should see your gynae or a physio urgently, maybe even go A&E if the pain is unbearable! Sending you a big virtual hug, jiayou mama, please get it checked out ASAP and don't try to walk through the pain okay!

My gynae was so chill, told me to just go to a chiropractor. I’ve been doing 4 days of back to back but the pain is still excruciating. Wonder what really went wrong:(

This one better not wait, please go see a doctor or A&E now, especially if you can't walk properly. Even though back pain is common in pregnancy, sudden pain that gets so bad within 2 days that you can't move around is something you need checked out urgently. A few of my mum friends had similar issues and it turned out to be different things, so a doctor needs to examine you properly to know what's going on. Sending you strength, I hope you get relief soon.
