Sciatic Pain?

I am at the ending of 9 weeks. The past couple of days my sciatic has been hurting so bad. Only on my left side. Does anyone have this already? If so what is some relief?

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. Sciatica is the pits. Yoga, Pilates and gentle back and abs strengthening exercise can help. I had it from around 8w with my first and it stayed around postpartum but with Pilates I’ve been able to minimize it overall and in this pregnancy so far.

Another great option is always getting a massage. Just make sure you go to someone qualified to take care of pregnant women and inform them how far along you are.

I had some trouble with mine about a week ago. It resolved thankfully. I had it the entire last trimester in my first pregnancy and it’s a pretty unmistakable pain.

Thanks ladies! This is absolutely miserable! I never did have this with my first so it caught me off guard.  It sure is uncomfortable.  I have been sitting on a heating pad and that seems to give it some relief, but definitely not a whole lot.
