Is this pgp or sciatica? Confused.
I have been suffering with on off shooting pains in my right leg for about 2 weeks now. I spoke to gp last week who said it sounds like sciatica and to speak to midwife re physiotherapy.
I had this with my son too 5 years ago!
I thought I'd look up sciatica in pregnancy and there was a link to baby centre where the symptoms for sciatica and pgp are nearly the same.
I haven't had any pelvic pain which makes me think it's sciatica I have.
Can anyone help?
I have mw this afternoon for downs test so will ask her then but thought I'd check with you ladies first.

I began suffering with sciatica quite early in this pregnancy, around 6-8 weeks. I now have pgp symptoms & requested a referral to physio at my booking in appointment...still waiting! I'm 14+2. Hth xx
Thanks for your reply. Hope it doesn't get too bad for you.
