Pelvis, leg and bottom pain at 25 weeks - what is it?

[jenrose29]

Hiya, I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I have a four and a half year old daughter who was born naturally but the wrong way up - the pain in my back was excuciating as I was in back labour for 37 hours. My back has been hurting on and off with this pregnancy as I expected it might, my coccyx has been painful and have been feeling like my back would give way. Now my coccyx still hurts, but I have shooting pains through the front left-hand side of my pelvis and down the front of my leg and also in my buttock. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Hi,

I can sympathise jenrose29 I have been suffering with similar since 25 weeks (now 30weeks and 4 days) I would say go and see the GP/MW as it could be a couple of thing PGP, Sciatica or things relaxing as they do (apparently) for birth. Ask for a Phsysio referral whilst they can't prescribe anything stronger than Paracetamol but they can give you exercises to help.

In the meantime rest when you can and warm baths work wonders.
