Umm Pain in the bum?!

[snoopy18]

Quite literally!

I’m at 33 weeks and woke up with the sharpest pains in my bum and lower back! I freaked out - first timer here!

Anyone had similair experiences? Is this normal?

@snoopy18 I get this quite often now and I think that it’s sciatic pain. Going to mention it to midwife this week. It’s not harmful, as far as I know- but very painful!

I get this (not pregnant). I thought it was just me until I read about it on mn. On here, they refer to it as 'javelin arse'.

Oh really?!

I thought I might be with the baby’s weight pushing down on everything or moving position down or something 🤔

I’ve had sciatica before but this is totally different!

Will ask my midwife next week too 😳

I've been to the dr about it, I get it around my period.
It's a spasm, harmless - but painful as hell!! It wakes me from sleep .....

@snoopy18 I just presumed I had sciatica when speaking to people who have had it before! It’s like a nerve getting trapped? Maybe I’m wrong. X

@Beherenow32 yeah sciatica tends to be nerve pain you can feel the compression around the nerves it’s awful! Had it a few years ago after wrong posture etc in exercise but have it under control. This was more of a stabbing almost muscular bruised pain as if someone was kicking me! Very bizarre 😳 trailed to my tailbone too. Never had it to such extreme before so no idea what it is 😳

I had this last week, could barely move for 3 days and then it went away again. Fingers crossed yours goes away too!

Keeps coming and going today 🤮 Laying down is helping heaps so I got into bed early and lay on my side with hot water bottle 🤷🏾‍♀️

Is it Javelin arse? That's a thing. Lots on here about it.
