The buttock pain that I talked about the last time seems to be a comman problem with us PG gals...It can start as early as 6 weeks & can continue in the 14th week...! The body is preparing itself to adjust to a different center of gravity parameter....this is also often accompanied by changes in the stance & ones gait...
