Sorry this is so long but am getting desperate.... I'm currently 11 weeks with dc No 2. With dd i had a couple of dreadful weeks suffering from some kind of spd / sciatica type pain when about 6 mths preg. It went after a couple of weeks but at the time was awful (sharp pain in top of buttock and I used to get almost frozen leg sensation). Anyway in the last week the old pain in buttock has started to flare up again. Not dreadful yet but sharp pains when walking for a while or say crossing legs. Wearing heels definitely out! I popped to Gp on fri who asked what I had been told to do last time. That was basically take to the sofa until it gets better! he has said I have to do this again, take a week of work, dont walk very far and dont pick up dd (19 mths). Well I am only 11 weeks gone and completely panicking. I dont want to take time off so early on, my boss knows but no one else and am worried about being pregnancy related sick so early. Also dd is only just walking so not picking her is almost impossible.. also I hate the idea of spending the next 7 ish months not being able to do things with her 
. Just wanting to ask wise MN for any stories of similar and whether trying to continue on (carefully) now is going to lead to more serious problems later?? Sorry this is a bit rushed and garbled am posting in stealth at work.... xx
