I am absolutely hating the fact that I can't "crack my back". Even though I know it is bad in general. Anyone have any recommendations to relieve this irritating pain? It is driving me crazy that I can't crack my back and anything else I do isn't really working (i.e relaxing bath, stretching, laying down etc)

I would highly suggest a pregnancy message. They are not that expensive and feel *wonderful*
Ask your OB for a referral to a chiropractic practice that works with pregnant women. They surely will have one or two they refer their OB patients to.
I HATE that feeling! I'm to the point I can't pop mine either, even by twisting from side to side and it drives me bonkers. I've even tried putting a pillow on the gound, lying on it and having my husband apply pressure to my upper and lower back with no results. Annnnnoying! So I feel you!

You should check this Sciatica Natural Treatment
http://cure-sciatica.info
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica. Try a reputable chiropractor ASAP!

Go see a chiropractor! Chiropractic treatment from a caregiver who is used to treating PG women is FINE and is GOOD for you during pregnancy.
Also, consider seeing a massage therapist, especially one who does cranial sacral massage. This helped me SOooooo much during all three pregnancies.
And start doing pelvic rocking exercises.

Try taking a hot shower or bath. Also try laying down. Don't do too much.
