sciatica already?

in 1st Trimester
I'm 5 weeks along and just started getting that pulling feeling in my lower back and legs. I didn't have any sciatica until the last trimester last time around. Anyone else have this early on?

    I have sciatica too...but I wasn't sure if it was related to pregnancy or some strain I put on my back (my usual cause for it) when I was doing some physical volunteer work last week.  I hope it doesn't stick around for us!

    Mine started with my first around 6 weeks and has started again with this one. Gotta love when your legs just feel like they are coming out from underneath you

    Just lurking a bit from 2nd tri, I have had a sciatica issue from like 6-7 weeks.  I'm not 21 weeks and it has not gotten any better.  I try to take baths and stretch, but nothing really helps.  Just gotta hang in there I guess.  Feel better!!

    I did find massage helped. I went to an RMT every 2-3 weeks for the first and second tri and almost weekly near the end. I also had really bad carpal tunnel in both hands so the massage helped that too

    I'm 6w2d and my sciatica is already acting up!  It was so bad last night that I had to have my husband run out for more tylenol.  I didn't have it like this until my late 2nd or 3rd trimester last time.   It seems like it's more painful now.  Sorry it's bothering you, too.

    I'm in the same boat.  I'm 9 weeks and I've had sciatic pain for two weeks so far.  Its absolutely killing me, with my last pregnancy it started around 5 months.  Its very difficult dealing with the pain and a toddler.

    Me too.  Uuuuggghhh!  I'm about 8.5 weeks and it just started bothering me a few days ago.  I kept telling myself it had to be something I did b/c there is no way it could be the pregnancy causing this. After reading this post, I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm wrong . . . oh poop.
