Since my BFP I have had really bad pain in my hips, it was mainly the right one and now it has moved to my left. I had mentioned it to my GP and he said I probably just pulled a muscle but that was it. But this has been happening for so long I don't think that is what it is any more, it's in a really hard place to describe and at time it hurts so bad that I get shooting pain all the way down to my knees. I do plan on mentioning it to my OB when I go back in two weeks but, has anyone ever experience this with pregnancy?

Re: Major hip pain
hmm, I have a weird nerve thing that might be similar. It started a while ago, but it's definitely been happening more frequently since getting pregnant.
It feels like it's starting almost between my hip and ovary and then goes down to my knee the outside of my ankle. Is that similar?
If it's going down your butt and through the back of your leg to your knee, it's sciatica and it sucks
Would you say it stems from around the area where your belt would normally run across? (assuming you're not wearing some super high waisted jeans)
The only stretches I found that help arent' really conducive to pregnancy. Try baths or swimming, the bouyancy helps. You might want to also see a chiropractor for a lower back adjustment. A massage therapist can help with the knots in the butt and thighs and I've also found that acupuncture is extremely helpful for sciatica.
Also, ice the area on your back where it stems from (around the belt line). Heat feels better, but ice works better. Heating your butt and leg will work though.
