I used a heating pad and it helped. I ok'd it with my OB. it was the worst when I sat and lied down. It went away after i had my baby. Yuck,I sure don't miss that part bc there were many nights where my husband would be snoring y while I sat in the dark in our sitting room trying to heat my ass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-487326 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:01:41 +0000 ladyfingers 487326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! And it came on around that time, too. In my case, it wasn't sciatica -- I ended up seeing a prenatal chiropractor and my left pelvic joint was twisted outward from the growing weight of the baby and my center of gravity shifting. I starting seeing her weekly, it took a few weekly visits but she gently guided things back into place. Now I go once every 3 weeks or so. She's only $30 and she's saved my ass. Literally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486893 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:41:38 +0000 shopaholic 486893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Well, the pain directly in the butt cheek did subside but this trimester I started getting some sciatica pain I think. Lower back pain has been there since 2nd tri but there were a couple of days the pain was on one side from lower back down to my feet! Not to scare you though! I just try to do more stretching on those days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486686 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:30:19 +0000 Cherrybee 486686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Ahh, I love that yours didn't get worse and worse as the pregnancy progressed! Fingers crossed mine goes away too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486677 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:25:21 +0000 shopaholic 486677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally had this ALL through 1st trimester and a bit here and there in 2nd tri! I thought it was so weird too! It'd be like one butt cheek would have ran a marathon and was so sore! If you tell people (like my cheesy DH) you might get some wise-a$$ remarks and jokes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486646 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:12:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 486646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, talk to your OB about it and they can usually give you some stretches to do. Sadly, it usually just gets worse as it goes on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486634 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:07:42 +0000 Bookish 486634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My whole pregnancy so far has been a pain in the butt cheek ;) haha? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486602 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:53:01 +0000 blackbird 486602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pain like this and it wasn't my sciatic nerve--it was my sacrum! My chiropractor gave me a lot of stretches. One of them was a crotch thruster. Yeah, it looked like a porno move. But after about 3 months of treatment, I am 100% pain free in my booty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486575 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:42:18 +0000 chopsuey 486575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pain in my butt when I was pregnant with my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486573 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:41:26 +0000 JerricaBenton 486573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I got the full body Boppy right after my BFP and it has helped a ton. I added another pillow to the mix though, now that my belly is huge. It seems to help to have more there now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486569 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:39:33 +0000 JoJoGirl 486569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: oh maybe my snoogle is what's helping, not the acupuncture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486563 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:37:14 +0000 JerricaBenton 486563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like sciatica. Sit up straight, 'tuck' your butt in when you're walking, and sleep with a pillow between your knees. Keeping active/exercising can help too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486561 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:36:03 +0000 JoJoGirl 486561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this too. I didn't know it was sciatica and I didn't know it was pregnancy-related, I thought I hurt myself weightlifting. But yes, it's only on one side and if I try to bend over to tie my shoe, I get shooting pains through my left butt cheek so I can barely stand back up. I got acupuncture for it and that helped some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486557 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:33:25 +0000 tororojo 486557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like sciatica...I get that pain when I'm trying to stand on one leg to put undies on. Or sometimes when I stand with one foot in front of the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486497 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:16:51 +0000 T-Mom 486497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I hope for your sake that it goes away too, but with your joints getting all loosened up, you may be dealing with this on and off for a while! I know what you mean about it being kind of funny. I kept insisting to DH that my "butt hurts" all the time, and he just gave me weird looks. But it really did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486494 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:14:44 +0000 Cherrybee 486494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thank you. It's bearable and even funny at the moment - but it better stop hurting soon otherwise I'll stop seeing the funny side!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486489 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:13:15 +0000 T-Mom 486489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally had this. I don't know if it was sciatica or what, but it got worse as I got bigger. I did a lot of pigeon yoga stretches to combat the pain in my butt and hips, but it did go away after giving birth. Sorry you are going through this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-the-butt-cheek-pregnancy-related#post-486472 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:05:38 +0000 Cherrybee 486472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay - this is a weird question! But for the last couple of days I've had this pain in my left butt cheek......</p> <p>It came on yesterday - I'd cleaned the house thoroughly and had a little lie down to rest afterwards. When I tried to get up, a sharp pain went though my butt cheek and my leg went kinda dead - I was limping about for a few minutes then it eased up. For the rest of the day, the pain was twingey, if you know what I mean? It came on whenever I tried to bend down to pick something up - but mostly I was okay. </p> <p>Well, cut to today and I had a two hour drive to work. When I got out of the car, the pain went shooting though my butt cheek again - and there is has remained all day, twinging on and off but generally just making walking difficult. When I got in from work, I changed my clothes and I couldn't bend enough to put my socks on!! </p> <p>What have I done to myself??? Is this pregnancy related, too? Has anyone else had this?? I'm only 11 and a half weeks!!!! </p>
