sciatic nerve

Experienced my first sciatic nerve pain last night. I've heard of it and people talking about it but I'm 33 weeks and haven't had any pain so I never asked about it or looked it up, and I didn't know what it was.

OMG

I was sleeping and it woke me up wincing in pain. I literally thought something was seriously wrong lol. My husband woke up freaking out that I was in labor and when I told him it was my upper thigh I didn't even know how to explain it.

Sharp, burning, tingling, worst pain I've ever felt in my life. It went away after a few minutes but omg. I hope this doesn't continue for the next 7 weeks!

I always have pillows surrounding me and in between my legs, and I almost always take Tylenol before bed because sleeping makes my back hurt. Uhg lol. I'm sorry y'all are dealing with it too! It's crazy what we go through for our little love bugs haha
