12 wks 2 Days and I need answers!

I'm 12 wks, 2 days and just recently I've had this pain in my lower back that shoptalk down into my hip and inner thigh, sometimes down my entire leg. The pain is so bad at times I find it hard to walk or just move. It hurts to stand and sit. I was almost in tears at one point. I was told by friends it's a sciatic nerve caused by baby pressing on nerves, but baby is so small, can it be from my organs shifting? Is it something I need to worry about? The pain can be debilitating at times and I work full time and I'm a mother of 2, I can't put my feet up often. I see my doc for my 2nd OB appt on the 30th of this month...I don't know if I will last ltill then...HELP please!

Call them.  It sounds like your sciatic nerve, and something that wasn't hitting it before seems to be hitting it now.  I've always had this problem intermittently, and it's only bothered me a few days since being pregnant (I'm 12w6d).  Call your doctor's office and see if they have any recommendations.

Thank you so much. I can't go through with this for 6 more months! Third pregnancy and this is a first for this issue. Friends say "look are you wobbling already!" I say "Oh no, I'm not wobbling, I'm limping!" :-/
