Thats the sciatic nerve, its very unpleasant! It's very common in pregnancy, mine usually gets better away after I move around a little. You might have itfr a while after baby arrives until everything in your body settles down again. Nothing to worry about, just another lovely pregnancy symptom!

I'm not one hundred percent sure but with my pregnancy my son sat on my sciatic nerve and that's what happened to me! It was like almost a burning ache for me!
