Sciatic Nerve Pain

Ah, the sciatic nerve pain (lovingly referred to around the house as my "butt pain") has kicked in. It started last Friday after I attended a healthy mom's expo the night before. The expo wasn't that large and I didn't feel particularly exerted, but the pain was so bad the next day that I couldn't even sit. I was a sad sack. The pain eased up by Sunday, but I've been feeling some minor zings off and on all week. I'm worried about surviving my shopping trip with my mom this weekend, not to mention anything else with a lot of walking or activity.

I'm getting increasingly impatient about my belly not popping or feeling movement. I know it's normal not to feel anything for another couple of weeks, but I compare myself to the girls on thebump.com and drive myself crazy (which I know is ridiculous, but I can't help it). For one thing, I want it to be obvious that I'm pregnant, but mainly I could use some reassurance that everything is OK. I have an appointment tomorrow, and as usual, the anxiety kicked in a few days ago. By this time tomorrow, I should be able to sigh a breath of relief.
