Hi all - I am 19 weeks and lately I wake up with horrible leg pains... I wouldn't call them leg cramps because they are up by my hips. Really painful. I try sleeping on the other side but then it just happens again on that side. All I want to do is lay on my back but I know I shouldn't. Anyone else have this?? Help!

It's actually okay to lay on your back for a short time. It's after the 24th week that they say try to stay off your back, it won't do any harm to the baby but it will be uncomfortable for you to be on your back because of the extra wieght but if you are comfee that way for now, go ahead and enjoy it!

Sciatica. Yes, lovely shooting pains down my leg starting at my hip or lower back. It's pressure on the sciatic nerve. I had it before on occasion before prego and now more frequent. Heat has been my saviour. I put a heating pad on it and that usually helps. I had it so bad one day that i cried the entire hour commute to work. My doctor said I could take a regular strength tylenol and put heat on it. I did and it got better. When it happens again, I just stick to the heating pad unless I am in tears.

yes, yes yes!! sucks! when i am going to sleep my legs start hurting..to the point where I can't go to sleep..what I have done and seems to help..is I get my legs up towards the wall for like 10 minutes, it seems like they hurt more but then when I go back to sleep It actually helps and I am able to sleep through out the night..It may help if you try it. Good luck and keep me posted.

37 weeks. My pain is not really cramping. It is more like a dull, aching pain that shoots up and down my leg. I take a warm bath to soak my legs, my husband rubs lotion and flex-all on my legs and I take Tylenol. It still keeps me up at night. I had the same thing with my daughter. IT SUCKS!
Any suggestions?
