First time mom.. hip pain?

Question

So this is my first pregnancy, I am a healthy, fit 32 year old, 11 weeks pregnant.   For the past 2 days,  my hip (like high butt cheek area) hurts so bad.  I can hardly put pressure on my leg.  It's also very painful to sit on the floor, it stings in my hip.  1.  Is this normal? 2.  What do I do about it?   Walking is hard to do at this point.   Thanks

Answer

Sounds like it could be siatic nerve pain, look into it and discuss with your docs. Our chiropractor also does maternity adjustments. May be helpful for you. Hope you feel better!

Answer

Hello :) it sounds like your sciatic nerve probably. I've suffered from pain like that even when I wasn't pregnant, so pregnancy makes it just that much worse for me. I'm 30 yrs old and only 10 was and it's already awful sometimes. 
I've noticed that certain activities aggravate it more. The way I bend over, the way I pick things up, vacuuming, sweeping, pivoting motions, etc. can all make it flare up worse if I'm not careful to use good body mechanics. I think any activity that throws my body out of alignment causes it to become more agitated. 
It's something I certainly haven't found a cure for yet. Maybe a hot bath and some yoga? Idk. I just live with it.
