This is pregnancy #3 for more and each time the sciatic nerve pain has started earlier and earlier. This time it is already super painful and I am only 9 weeks. Is there anything anyone recommends? I can't sleep the pain is so bad and can't imagine another 30 weeks...
Re: Sciatic nerve pain
My chiro says you can't stretch too much and told me to aim for at least a couple times per day. He also recommended pregnancy yoga which I will be attempting if I can get this nausea and fatigue under control (hopefully soon as I've just entered the 2nd tri today!) Maybe yoga would work for you?
Sometimes walking helped, hot bath, ice pack on my back. (I know hot packs but in my case ice actually worked better). Sitting, laying down with a pregnancy pillow or a normal pillow between my legs, and hugging another pillow helped. Yoga at times worked. Sometimes doing simple stretches helped...
Really don't be afraid to try different things. With me what worked one day may not work the next time.
Hang in there!
