I'm 28 weeks pregnant and have started to have a horrible pain in my lower back (tail bone kind of area!) and down the outsides of my bottom and thighs. The pain is generally worse on one side but at times is both sides. It's keeping me awake at night as I'm unable to find a comfortable position even with my maternity pillow between my knees, turning over in bed is so painful, I can hear a pop sound - yuck. Stairs are also a pain as is sitting on the loo, bending, driving etc. I haven't seen midwife or gp about it but I'm utterly miserable now. This is my first pregnancy and I'm a nursery teacher - very very worried how I will cope at work but don't want to take early maternity if I can help it.
What's best thing to do? See midwife? GP? Both?! I've read online about support belts, can anyone recommend anything in particular? Is this even PGP or is this just something I need to manage myself?
Apologies for rant :(
