ouch :o(

i have sharp pain down the backs of my legs (mostly left(started this week)) in my cocix (which has been like this for weeks now)and in the right side of the front of my rib cage(started today)!

IT REALLY HURTS!

how many weeks pg are you?

14 today

sounds like growing pains, your whole body is stretching and expanding and its a bit of a knock on effect. if youre concerned tho call your mw or epu for advice, pretty sure i had this at around the same stage

i had been asked by two people if i had sciatica becuase its related to prenancy but i done my own research and found out it is in fact, not related to prenancy in is more common between 30 and 50 (im 20)

dont understand it, it feels like i have trapped a nerve in my spine sometimes

i used to get trapped nerves all the time when pg with ds

Not sure about the legs and ribs, but I keep getting a very sore coccyx if I sit down for too long (at work most days, for example!) which then seems to transfer to my left buttock (not sure why only that one!) when I get up and I'm quite stiff then until I get walking.

Am further on than you (25 weeks) but not particularly big but am presuming that baby must be exerting more pressure than I realise. Going to invest in a cushion (seen a slanting one that's meant to be good for this).

I'd have a word with MW to put your mind at rest - mine's definitely better on the days when I'm out and about and not desk bound all day though - and lying flat on sofa at end of day definitely helps!

Best of luck.
