I'm 24 wks :)  you can try acetaminophen.. it helps some. Also, I know this sounds weird but I will jolt gently every now and then to try amd move her off my right side. She's always so low in my pelvis... it sometimes helps. For a short while anyway.

Sounds like your siatic nerve. It is unfortunately common. I get that a lot, really the only thing that brings me relief is lying on my left side. Although the pain always comes back when I stand up.  Its just baby and uterus putting pressure on your siatic nerve.. it will probably be with u till birth (it sticks with me all the way through)

Sorry, I know it's no fun but at least baby isn't harmed in any way by the pain.

I had a similar pain with my second child, it was ciatic (wrong spelling lol) nerve pain basiclly the baby was on a nerve. It went away as soon as she was out but my leg was bothering throughout my pregnancy, check with your doc its not much you can do about it. Hope you feel better.
