Mother effin' sciatica!
So Thursday night DH and I went to a local High School Football game. Out of no where my back cramped up and my legs gave out on me, I collapsed. Since then I have lost feeling and mobility in my right leg.
It is slowly getting better and I woke up this morning with a little less pain and can somewhat walk.
I guess I am one of those "lucky" pregnant women that get a horrible case of sciatica. There is nothing much I can do but take tylenol for the pain, stretch and take a warm bath.
So I have been stuck in bed since Thursday night and I have missed my nesties. How has everyone else been?

I was having terrrrible sciatica pain as well (sometimes I still do) but I was unable to move when I was having the attacks for days at a time. I was referred to physical therapy and it helped so much! You might want to look into that.
I hope you feel better soon!

My sciatica is REALLY bad this pregnancy. It's only my right leg, but some days I can't go up and down the stairs. Mine has actually gotten a little better the past few weeks, because her weight must have shifted, but it's been replaced by heel spurs (so not really any better).
Hang in there!
