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 💛
