Can anyone relate ?

Hello I am 21 weeks pregnant.

For 2 weeks I've had lower one sided right back pain that is low down and just on top of bum right side:

The more I move the more it hurts. No pain in lower part of bum or leg stays in the same place. If I get up it hurts when I'm laying down it's a dull ache but sharp with certain movements. I'm growing concerned with the fact how will I handle this pain the more bigger my bump gets:

Is this even pregnancy related ? Or have I pulled a muscle

I can't find anything on lines as my pain don't move

Anyone had this x

sounds like pelvic girdle pain but check with your midwife.
hot water bottle and bath help!

I had something similar to this in my first pregnancy, but in my case I had pulled a muscle in my groin.

I looked up some exercises on youtube to strengthen the muscle, but I'm sorry to say that it got worse as I got heavier and very slowly recovered after birth.

It sounds like it could be pregnancy sciatica - I’ve found a few exercises that are helpful (Google and you’ll get lots of suggestions). Mine is worse towards the end of the day or if I’ve been sat down for a long time. You can ask your midwife and I’m sure she’ll have some suggestions, whether it’s sciatica or PGP x
