Numb Bum

I don't know if this will sound odd, or if this is actually a pregnancy 'thing' ... but in the past month I've been experiencing a painfully numb bum whenever I'm sat for any longer than 20 mins Confused

I'm just over 13 weeks, and I have put about half a stone on already (nausea grazing!) but I was pretty slim to start with, so I wouldn't have thought it was much to do with the weight bearing down on my behind.

MIL said it could be something to do with sensitive nerve endings?

Its more an observation (that can be extremely annoying - especially in the car or at work) rather than anything that I would bother my midwife with! ANyone else had anything similar?

I get numb bum and pain down bk of both legs but I have disc problems in my spine so it doesn't help but dr said it could be PGP

Sounds like sciatica, particularly if it's concentrated on one side and combined with pain in one leg.

Thanks for the replies - but (luckily) it is literally just in my bum! No pain in legs ... but I'll be sure to keep an eye on any pain going in that direction.
