I have that too. I started taking a warm shower, sleeping with my body pillow and a heating pad under my hip. Its been helping so far.

That pain us from nerves being pinched. I cant sleep on my sides because of it. But if you put a pillow under your bellow and slightly roll onto your belly a tiny bit it will relieve some of the pressure causing the pinched nerves but you won't be lying directly on your belly either

It's because baby is on your sciatic bone which causes pain from your butt down to your leg. I've had it since te beginning of my pregnancy around my 2nd trimester , I'm 33 weeks & I still have it & it is the worse!

I am 29 weeks and I have the same problem. I haven't had a good night sleep in it seems like for ever. I've been told to drink a glass of milk and lay on your left side.
