Nerve pain in pregnancy not sciatica

[boiler717]

I am losing my mind. I had this type of nerve pain and numbness during pregnancy. It was sciatica but very similar. I cannot remember the name and google is failing me. Any ideas?

Piriformis syndrome? Round ligament pain?

ETA: There are so many shitty pregnancy pains.

Maybe Symphysis pubis dysfunction? Or an incarcerated uterus (worst name ever)? I had a suspected combo of those two my first pregnancy and it was horrible. I’m sorry —pregnancy pains are no fun.

Yes this is helpful! I had SPD and meralgia parasthesia. I think I was thinking they were one thing but it was 2. Thanks MMM!

MP was so miserable! My one thigh is still super numb, although thankfully it is only painful when I’m pregnant.

Hahaha nope! But I’m having a weird pain thing in my right hip / leg. It’s the same side where I had bursitis in 2014 and then had a lot of numbness and pain when pregnant in 2015. I think I just have weird alignment on that side but wanted to be able to explain to my doc the history of that side!

Thank you for this name -meralgia parasthesia. I had this with both pregnancies and it was so strange. I always felt like you could stick a fork in my leg and I'd never feel it. I still have some slight numbness and tingling years later. That is also the side I had shingles and have some numbness on my back from that. Good times.
