Any one with Sciatica?

I used to be ok on my right side but now my legs go numb no matter what side I lay on. So I continuously flip all night. Any suggestions? I'm getting a Snoogle for my birthday...does that help?

    I did with my DD just in my first trimester, so I wore comfortable shoes no heels, switched office chairs, and stretched often. Good luck!

    I will look up those stretches. I'm 6 weeks almost so I hope its a first trimester thing. I had shingles 7 years ago that caused nerve damage to my left side. That's nothing new but lately my right side and laying on my back causes numbness but not pain. Hope its temporary. Thanks again!

    My biggest issues with sciatica with DD were in my latter half of second tri and through third tri. It was crippling and the only thing that helped was to keep a stretching routine. 

    Specifically, I sat on a chair, feet on the floor and placed one ankle on top of the other knee, leaning forward. I felt some relief in my thigh/butt area. I hope you find some relief soon!
