  Yes. Very normal. Mine gets so bad I can barely walk at times. They talk about it in a lot of pregnancy books if you want more info on it.

  I don't know your pain tolerance but brutal sounds extreme.... You might want to discuss with your doctor your specific pain and rule out a UTI or kidney infection.

  Yup and 12 hr nursing shifts don't help.....I sleep with a heating pad but that doesn't help a whole lot either. Everyone keeps saying chiropractor but I am Leary.......

  Yes, very common. A quick search or look in a book would let you know that. I sleep with a pillow between my knees, under my back, and of course, under my head. Usually helps, doesn't mean I won't get it the next day though! But at least when I wake up I feel okay.

  Check the daily symptoms board. You'll see nearly everyone is experiencing it.

  Yes mine is totally muscle related, and it is killing me today. I go to Pilates twice a week and I'm going to let my instructor know. It's definitely more difficult to support my back with my abs!

  Try a pregnancy pillow, it has helped me a ton. I also do go to a chiropractor and acupuncturist - if you can find someone who has experience with pregnant women, it will definitely help and there's no harm to the baby. My chiro just modifies my treatment (no more lying on my stomach during a session, etc) and my acupuncturist uses extra pillows to prop me up more.

  I have sharp shooting lower back pain also. Getting massages, lots of stretching/yoga and exercise is helping me.
  
  Physio would also be a option. Likely the weight of the baby is effecting the curve of your spine, so they could probably offer some sound advice on things you could do at home to help. And be sure to keep your doc in the loop.
  
  Good luck!

  Hi,
  This might sound weird, but swimming actually helps a lot with pregnancy pains. For me, it's relieved sciatica, lower back and shoulder pain. I know the last thing you probably want to do when you're in pain is go train, but if you're ever out of options, you might want to give it a try!
