siatic nerve

What does it honestly feel like when baby sits on it? I've heard its horrible. And how far along can that happen? I'm only 24 weeks, and I Got out of bed this morning and almost fell over in pain. But when I bent over the pain went away. I'm not sure what it was or even if baby is big enough to hit the nerve yet. Any ideas ladies?

Mine honestly feels like the worst butt cramp in history, it could buckle my leg if I wasn't holding onto something, haha. NOT fun! I'm 38w6d, it started about 32

I had it when I was pregnant with my son and occasionally I still have it.  It was really horrible and painful. Not sure at what week but my tummy is already big at that time maybe 7-8 mos. One time I was trying to stand up but I can't  and I was already crying because of the pain. After birth I still have it. I remember when I was on my way home from work I almost fell down while walking because my right leg almost gave out and it was so painful. That was the only time I consulted a doctor and I was diagnosed with sciatica.  He taught me proper stretching and advised that I should take Vit B-complex for my nerves. You will be prone to it especially when you had a normal delivery.

Mine started at 21 weeks n thank god hasnt happened since 23 weeks. It was the most painful experience of my life. It was on my left side so randomly my left leg would completely give out. Ive had to stop in the middle of stores n wait till i could feel it again. The thing that ***** the most is there is nothing you can do about it...
