Did you have sciatica issues?

I have been having this pain in my lower back/upper butt on the left side and I'm assuming it's from my sciatic nerve.  It's so bad when I first wake up that I can barely walk.  I have a dr. appt. on Monday and plan to ask her about it then, but thought I'd ask if any of you had issues with it and if you did anything to help or if yours was like mine.  Right now all that helps me is moving around and walking on it.  TIA!

    I have issues with it even when I'm not pg.  Moving and walking helps.  Driving seems to aggravate mine, so if you can avoid driving long distances, I would.  There are a lot of good streches, this one is my fav.  Bring your knee across your body toward your opposite shoulder.

    I did when pregnant w/ DD, I had a few massages and the therapist really worked that area. It helped some, but not fully. It went away completely after I delivered.

    I had it at the very end with LO1, a lot sooner with LO2. My doc said there is nothing they can really do, except prescribe medicine for absolutely unbearable pain (but it can affect the baby so I declined). It went away completely after I delivered LO1, so I'm hoping it does the same thing with LO2!

    I had it when I was pg with DS. It felt okay if I was sitting down, but I couldn't even walk without crying. I found that, even though it hurt to walk, it was better than staying still too long. So I'd get up from my desk every 20 mins and walk around for a couple mins. That helped a lot and it faded over a few days. I called my OB and they rec'd some stretches.

    Yep.  I am so not looking forward to when it starts with this pregnancy. :(
