I've known people that have used medicated rubs on the area too for some comfort. Things like Icy Hot, Mineral Ice, Ben-Gay, etc. You might want to do some internet research on remedies for this. Of course, I'm not a doctor, but that's what it sounds like.

Most of all, take it easy as much as possible. Believe me, this is the easy part. You'll look back on your pregnant days with a smile on your face, in years to come

Best of luck in getting some rapid comfort!

I figure this is just preparing me for the pain my children will cause the rest of my life That is what my mom tells me anyway LOL

I don't actually have a heating pad it's a rice thingy that heats up in the microwave. I use it for everything LOL but i wasn't sure if it would help or aggravate it. I will definately try it.

Hey I have some of those icy hot patches... I wasn't sure if I was allowed to use those or not but it doesn't say I can't in my stack of rules hehehe.

Don't get me wrong... i really do love being pregnant... it's a wonderful feeling. But I'm waiting for the "magic" part to start hehe

I was thinking Sciatic too. The Dr said it's hard to say for sure right now because it's so early it might just be hormones causing it... although I don't really understand that lol. My sister in law is pregnant with their 4th right now and she is due in June.... she is at the point where when the baby is sitting on that nerve she just gently pushes on her belly until the baby shifts over.
