I have had this pain since about 5weeks pregnant, i am now 7 and its in both buttocks… and it is VERY painful!!!! I always just thought it was sciatica… i had no idea! I have a 19 month old son and i also had this with him very very early in pregnancy too.

I am 19 weeks, this started for me at about 17 weeks. I was at work when I felt a horrific pop in the back of my pelvis on the right. Since then I’ve been in physical therapy and seeing a chiropractor (4 total weeks), and have reached a plateau of improvement. it also seems both therapy practitioners are reluctant to say “sacroiliac dysfunction”. I am currently 19 weeks and have come to accept that birth is my most probable cure. I have pains that vary from the right to the left, worsens with sitting, and grabs suddenly with unpredictable movements. only occasionally do the pains radiate down the buttocks. Most of the time there is a dull ache with occasional sharp stabs that occur unpredictably. looking forward to some relief, however birth is still a long way off.

I have the exact pain that all of you are speaking of and my doctor did not even supect it could be PPP, which is suprising to me. I have had this pain for about 3 weeks and I am now 12 weeks so it seems like women are getting this earlier than the 18th week. At least i know i am not alone. Thanks

It is “sort of” normal as being one of the side effects, for lack of better terminology, of being pregnant. Some women get it, some don’t. Just like some are very sick and nauseous, some have no nausea. A friend of mine had it during her pregnancy and her’s went away after her delivery. Her’s turned out to be totally related to pregnancy. Mine turned out to be something permanent, although it has dormant stages and stages where it flares up. My friend’s doctor gave her some exercises to do using a medium size ball placed between her legs and while standing, doing pelvic tilts/glute contractions holding the ball with her legs. I also believe a yoga instructor who is trained to work with pregnant women could show you some stretches to do that would help ease the pain.

i am 10 weeks pregnant as of today & my pain started like a month ago. so i was probably 6weeks when it started. it totally sucks.. but this is my second child & i think b/c of the fact that i’ve been pregnant before may have made the symptoms show up faster. however, i never had this problem with my first child. weird.

I had this during my first pregnancy and the doctor thought it was ONLY related to being pregnant. However, I suffered with sacroiliac joint pain for many years afterwards and finally was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. This is very common for it to take years for a doctor to figure out you have AS. If you have lingering, prolonged pain in your SI joints after pregnancy, please ask your doctor (internist or family practitioner, not OB doctor) to work you up for AS. If he isn’t familiar with AS, then see a rheumatologist.
