I can’t walk or move!

30 weeks pregnant and for the past week I’ve had this really weird pain all down my right hip, bum and leg. It’s like it all locks in place but if I bend down and I’m fine I come back up and get stuck. I can barely walk or move because every time I do I’m in agony. It’s so much worse at night time. Tried a hot water bottle on it and paracetamol and nothing seems to be helping it. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do to stop it?

Sounds like sciatica or pelvic floor dysfunction, ob could possibly help with prescribed physical therapy or meds safe for baby. I had the same thing but not as severe!

I agree with Chloe, most likely sciatica or pelvic floor dysfunction. I had the exact same thing and quite severe. I wasn’t able to sit, stand, walk or even lie down. I used to get massages to help but they didn’t do much sadly.

I would try and get an appointment with an osteopath ASAP, sounds like something isn't aligned, seeing an osteopath for my PGP and Sciatica was the best thing I did.

Please make an appointment asap with a pelvic floor therapist. They will be able to help you throughout your pregnancy as well as after.

This sounds just like the pains I had around that time. It was sciatica for me that was preexisting, exacerbated by baby girl leaning in that direction. If you’re comfortable with it, would definitely reccomend seeing a chiropractor. The adjustments helped me as I was bed ridden from the suffering. Sending much strength and healing 💛

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

Feeling weird

Hey all. I went in for a reassurance scan this morning as I have been feeling consistent movement for the last few weeks, and then no movement since Sunday night, and some hiccups yesterday morning. While the nurse was doing my scan, she goes “are you eating enough?” Should I be worried about that comment? It has me feeling weird ever since :/
