Crying or Very sad

with my first child I had extreme hip pains. (the ones the start at the hip and shoot down your leg) now I pregnant with my second and I want to know how to ease it. It hurts so bad some time I end up falling to my knees. Please help if you know any remedies.

Sounds like sciatica

much as it hurts it is best to remain active.
Activity is best for sciatica - it is the symptom of pain that cause us to try to not move.
You can take paracetamol/tylenol (safe in pregnancy) or ibuprofen (do not use during pregnancy).

If it persists from more than a week or so see your doctor about this.

It's caused by pressure or irritation to the sciatic nerve.
