Pain in the butt!!

My arse is really sore today. I am 20 weeks pregnant. I've had pain generally on the left side for weeks. It is worse when I turn in bed, sneeze/ cough/ laugh. But today it is really sore on the left side, I am struggling to walk. Sitting still for a long time hurts too.

This is my 1st baby, is this normal? I've tried to keep active during pregnancy with walking. My BMI was "normal" starting and I have gained about 20lbs. Which might be a bit much for this stage, my bump is already very large!

Anyone any ideas on what to do for the pain? Feels a bit like a trapped nerve.

Sounds like you're stuffing with sciatica! Can you see a pregnancy oestopath. Might help

@Whatelsecouldibecalled thanks, just had a quick google, nothing closer than an hr and half drive away. I am in with the midwife in 2 weeks she might know someone closer who isn't coming up on google.
