I hate to say it, but it doesn't get any better. Sleeping was very difficult for me. Changing positions helped some, but then the other would start hurting. Massage was good as well as special pillows. Congrats on your twins! How many weeks are you now?

I will be 19 weeks on friday, Due Oct 12. I haven't had any problems with my other hip yet, but i have a real fun pain in my tushie too, LOL . i never had these with my other kids but i've never had twins before either. Hoping for the best. How old are your twins?

My twins will be 8 mo. on Sat. I was due Oct. 3rd! I was induced at 38 weeks, 1 day, so I know your pain. I wonder if it is sciatica (sp?) if it's in your bum as well. My OB was real good about giving me suggestions for discomfort and said that he could get me into some water classes or PT to help. I had some lower back pain at times. Do you know what you're having or if you'll find out? We had a boy and a girl.

i can relate to the sciatic nerve pain in your tush. i had this pain even before i was pregnant. does it feel like a pinching in either side, sometimes both!? my pain isn't contsant, really just in the mornings. and it feels like i can't even hold my own weight. my sister is a massage therapist and she was able to stop the pain. however, it comes and goes. but since i am pregnant she won't work on me, she said we have trigger spots that can promot labor later on. so now i have to go pay someone. :( my appt for my massage is tomorrow. i'll let you know if they are as good. and i'll ask the question about your hip to them.

Well the doc's officecalled me today and they are almost positive that the boys are identical. Ayden and Erick. The pain in my tushie dosen't run down my leg so i don't think its my sciatica, but who knows....It's mostly in one cheek only. Just one more thing to live with right? : ) You ladies have been so nice, thanks so much for your advice! I'm kinda freaking out right now because even though i had a feeling, i never really expected to be having twins. It's very overwelming (sp). I think i might ask my doc next visit about something to help with my hip. Thanks again! -Amaris

hi erronsmommie, i had my massage done, and she said the ciatic nerve will probably go away cuz of the pelvis and everthing along with it stretches, i was glad to hear that! i'll see if she was right. so far no pain in my butt when i wake up in the morning since i've seen her. might be worth some money to go get a massage. make sure you know they are experienced in giving pregnant women massages. you don't want to go to just anyone.
