i’m 13 weeks
what about leg cramps..anyone had those during pregnancy? because my lower calves hurt a lot

I have awful sciatica with my pregnancy. I also had it with my first pregnancy and it did go away after delivery. However this time it came on a lot earlier and has been much more severe. I am so worried that my sciatic nerve has been so irritated with both my pregnancies that it will not go "back to normal." does that ever happen? Or will the sciatica for sure go away…gosh I hope so.

This is my 3rd baby. My first baby was also lying on my sciatic nerve & it started about the same time as this pregnancy. I am 22 weeks today and it hurts so bad. Every time I move or get up to walk the pain shoots straight down my right leg. It especially is hurting in my butt area. It’s been a while since I had my first baby & I can’t remember the best thing to do for this. Any suggestions??

I’m attempting a midwife-attended VBAC in a hospital. I have developed steadily worsening sciatica during my pregnancy. Can I expect the sciatica to create issues/worsen even moreso during labour?

I have high BP for the first time in my life other than pregnancy. I’ve had a few other odd symptoms all since I was in a car accident last May. Was wondering if the back injury could be the underlying cause of the problems.

Or did you hurt at all? My friend is prescribed vicadin 10 for pretty much the rest of her life. It screwed up her back so bad. I’m having the same problems and am just wondering what other ppl went through after the pregnancy. Will the pain go away? Does massage therapy help? And how much is it?

Im 28 weeks and have constant back problems, my back just does not seem to be handling the weight of my belly at all. Its so hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in, although on my side is the best. The pain in the back is really overtaking the joys of pregnancy, it makes everything harder and more horrible. What do you do to ease the pain? I tried heat packs, massages etc nothing works

I am currently 19 years old and almost 7 years ago I had spinal fusion surgery to correct scolosis. I am hoping that someone else has had this surgery and can tell me about any complications they are experiencing, also I am curious about any difficulties in pregnancy and just getting older in general.

My son was born with a rare genetic disease, which caused his facial structures are under developed . During the pregnancy, my wife followed the entire necessary test.

Now we went back to the medical records and found out that the ultrasonic pictures clearly showed his deformed facial structures. However no any medical doctors told us about this, every time we were told everything is fine? Could we sue the medical doctor for her medical malpractice? Thanks

i have siatica and im pregnant, and pregnancy can cause siatica but im only 10-11 weeks…. coincidence?
thankyou for your information

I heard that there is currently a class action lawsuit against the makers of zoloft, for women who took this drug during pregnancy and their babies were born with health problems. But I cannot find any information on this? Does anyone know about this lawsuit and where I can read more information about it? I prefer NOT to read this from a money hungry attorney’s or Lawyers website, I would like good solid public information if possible.
Thanks so much.
Well, I do know that taking zolft is associated with a serious lung and heart condition in a percentage of babies whose mothers are taking it while pregnant, that is a fact, that was on Canadian TV. But, I haven’t heard about the lawsuit.

I have to go the the chiropractor regularly, mainly for neck and shoulder pain. Sometimes I have low back pain as well. I have an old injury in my neck and wonder if the strain of a pregnancy would cause me to have more pain? My husband and I want to start a family, but I am so scared what that will do to my back.

I’m 10 weeks pregnant and i kept getting this kinda tugging pain in my left butt cheek, lower left side of my back and kinda up at the top of my left leg. I’m pretty sure it’s my sciatic nerve, but i’m not sure if getting the pain early in pregnancy is normal??? I always thought it was something that happened when baby was bigger?

It is making walking nearly impossible & has been interrupting my sleep. I’ve have the pain for 3 constant days. Sometimes I can walk fine and then the pain becomes severe and I almost stumble.

This is my 3rd pregnancy so I have 2 other children to chase after (ages 20 months and 4 years)

I’m 13 & 1/2 weeks pregnant and my lower back and right butt cheek pain is almost unbearable. I didn’t have this type of problem, other than tiny lower back pain, with my first pregnancy. So any tips on how I can relieve the pain?
