Feel like back gives way, 16 weeks

Hi all,

I've tried a google but that comes up with generic back pain in preg so I thought I'd try here to see if anyone has had similar;

From quite early on i've had like a pinched nerve feeling in the centre of my lower back, not constant, but will pinch if I cough or sneeze. I've also had general achey tops of inner thighs and the odd ache where things are stretching.

Tonight though the pinch feeling is more to the right of my spine and worse when I put weight on my right leg (ie; stairs) I also feel a bit like my back "gives way" if I bend to pick something up - like there's a point where theres a weakness and i lower faster. Is this sciatica?

I also have a bit of an achy pully feeling across uterus (not cramping) but am putting that down to rapid growth! Scan at 12 weeks all well and boobs recently sore again so feel (hope!) all well with bub (no kicks yet, first baby)

I have quite a sizeable bump already despite being slender and my boobs have increased 2 cups and a band size so I know I'm carrying some extra weight fairly early on!

Has anyone else experienced the give way back feeling?
