So my left butt cheek feels like I've been doing 500 butt clenches, but just on that cheek. It hurts when I stand and when I walk. It feels deep within my butt cheek. I'm 11 weeks and I'm scared what it's going to be like later on. On a positive note, I never felt anything like this with my previous pregnancy, so it makes me feel better that it's different, but man, is it painful!

That's what mine feels like in my right butt cheek! For weeks I thought I had a strained muscle because I was expecting sciatic pain to shoot down my leg but it doesn't. Try a chiropractor? It could also be a rotation in your pelvis-which caused me lots of butt discomfort in the beginning!!

I'd look into a chiro who specializes in ART (active release techniques) or a massage therapist!

That is what mine felt like as well, it was horrible but luckily it came and went throughout my pregnancy. It lasted about a week and then went away for 3 weeks. When I would get the pain I would go to a chiropractor and it seemed to make my pain last a bit less. Good luck! Ohhh and I also got some biofreeze, it didnt take the pain away completely but it helped quite a bit.

Personally, I'd recommend a physical therapist over a chiro, but that's just me.
Try some piriformis stretching, like this...
-
Yes, sounds like it. It may not last the whole time though. I had it bad at the end of my first trimester/beginning of my second and it went away after a few weeks. The stretching really helps!
-
I had something that sounds like what you've described... I probably had it around 9 or 10wks for a couple of weeks and then it disappeared.
-
I'm having similar pain, and going to my chiropractor has really helped.
-
I had the same thing right around 11-15 weeks? Then it went away. It came back last week around 32 weeks.
-
I actually accomplished cleaning today and my sciatic nerve is killing me! I've had problems with it in the past and stretching always helped.
-
@BeachMama: +1, I would have guessed IT band or piri over sciatic!
-
I had that for the first time ever in pregnancy, and I just got something similar to it again and I'm not even pregnant!
