I have this persistent pain in my right butt, it radiates down my thigh too and is quite bad in the evenings/nights. Could this be sciatica? think i had it last time but can't remember.
Is this Sciatica?

Sounds like how my sciatica is, so i would say that it is. I find yoga and swimming help with it a lot or you could try a bit of Physio.
I had physio last time but i don't have anyone i can leave my DS with this time so not sure if i could manage that again.
Any idea why its only on one side? wonder if its anything to do with being right handed?

Sounds like the sciatic pain that I used to have before I was pregnant and during the early part of this pregnancy. I think the sciatic nerve might be located slightly on right side of the body, but I could be wrong.

Yeah i was always lead to believe that the nerve that causes the sciatic pain is on the right side, therefore the pain is only on the right side.

Definately is sciatic pain. The sciatic nerve actually runs down your spine and then splits in 2 to run through both butt cheeks and down your legs. You can get sciatic pain on either side, or both (I have sciatic pain on my left, just through my bum). The pain is generally caused by that nerve getting pinched.
I spoke to my MW about it and she suggested physio, which I know isn't really an option for you B. Only thing I can suggest is maybe some yoga, or swimming. I know for me that walking actually made it worse.
Just take it easy, and I have found that it does eventually go away.
