Hi, i'm 22 weeks and 4 days and i know this is a problem quite a few pregnant women experience, i just wandered if you cared to share your tips.
The baby has been repeatedly lying on my nerve which results in varied levels of pain or discomfort.
It started with a numb/pins and needles feeling in my right thigh, and since has moved to intense pains, from my right knee up over my hip and around my back... it really is crippling. And she always has a habbit of sitting on my nerve when i'm out especially in a supermarket lol. I have tried jigging her around by gentle persuasion and by force (e.g) jumping shaking etc) and although sometimes it works for a moment, she always goes straight back to the same spot. Please help because it really is frustrating and embarrasing when i'm crippled over in a shop crying.

Hey I had this problem.. What I did was to actually get on my hands and knees and I would bend my arms so that my buttocks was in the air and my face was by the floor...I know that it kind of looks funny but it made me feel better. I did this for about 10 Minutes at a time. Also I would take a warm shower but not too hot! That made it feel better..
I hope this helps I know exactly how you are feeling and it can be very painful....Good Luck with the pain and the baby!

Your doctor will not give you anything that could hurt the baby. But, I would be a little worried about taking darvicet. Have you considered contacting a chiropractor. They work on pregnant women and this is a common problem for pregnant wome. I go to one once a week right now. they are great. Give one a call. It could really help with your pain.

Its probably not so much her, as the weight of the uterus. Its sciatic nerve pain, and you're right, it is common. But its generally caused by the uterus, or if it is the baby, its because the baby is dropped or very low.
Anyhoo, swimming, stretching and tylenol. Thats what worked for me.
Accupuncture can help, as can chiropractic work, both are safe when pregnant and work GREAT.

Might sound crazy but I used to talk to my daughter. I'd rub my belly and tell her that she was hurting mommy. Then I'd ask her to move just a little. I would "push" her in the direction that I wanted her to move to by rubbing my belly in that direction. Try it! Good luck.
