Sore bum cheek

Elliebank · May 1st, 2009, 18:28 PM

Drum roll please.....this is the first thread I have started in third tri!!!

For the last couple of weeks I've noticed that when I've had a busy day & been on my feet all day (i.e. when I've been cleaning the house), my right leg starts to ache at the top (like growing pains) & my right bum cheek is really sore, like I've been sat on it for hours. This has happened today when I haven't really been that busy (just been at work, sat at my desk).

Does anyone else get this or know what it could be? I thought it might be SPD but I've just googled that & it says that's pain in yr groin area so don't think it's that.

Hi there and congrats on your first post in 3rd tri!!

I'm hoping for you that it's not but with SPD the initial pain comes from the centre of the pelvis, the pubis symphysis but if that is out of line can give you one sided pain in the hips/legs.
Also we all have a stronger side and it could just be that as your bump is getting bigger you are feeling pressure. If it continues see your doc though and get referred to a back pain class/physio. They give you exercises to do, and the sooner you see them the better

Good luck

I think when its at the back of the pelvis its called "pelvic girdle pain" or pgp for short and it does cause pain in the bum cheeks or just one cheek.

I have it as well, sometimes in both cheeks and it radiates down my thighs, making them feel tired/sore. Some days are worse than others.

My massage therapist says its your glutt muscles tightening up from all the added weight. If you can see someone, see a massage therapist. They will release the tightness and you will feel 100% better. I have litterally developed a crush on mine during my pregnancy :> She has helped out my aching muscles so much.
