Sciatica

I first started feeling pain yesterday in my butt and lower back when walking the dog.  By tonight I was limping and it hurts so bad to walk and it's just on my right side.  My mom says it might be Sciatica.  I looked it up and that sounds like that's it and I read it can be caused during pregnancy based on how the baby is laying.  Has anyone else dealt with this?

  • For the last 6 months..... It sucks but there's not much you can do. Try stretching, drinking water, and moving around.

  • Yes, it's terrible. Funny enough the side that its happening is where the dr said his head was last week. (He seems almost crooked)

  • I've had it pretty bad throughout my whole pregnancy.  The thing that seems to trigger it the most is when I sit on the floor.  Doing the yoga pose "cat cow" seems to really help me when it acts up..might want to try that :)
  • I had it during my first pregnancy. Its has been minimal this time, prenatal yoga helped a lot!
  • I've had some here and there... I got a prenatal massage and that really helped a lot!

  • OMG. I'm dealing with it now. altho its much better now then last month. Sometimes it gets so bad my knee caves and i have to stop and breathe... i try stretching and a heating pad helps for a bit.
  • Thanks, ladies!
  • ugggghhh this is me sooo much! I teach on the third floor and since school started 5 weeks ago the pain has worsened! If I wear tennies it is a little better but day in and day out I'm in pain!

  • Mine just started creeping in. With my DS it was only when I was seated. This time it's only when I'm walking. So weird.

  • Try a belly band. Heating pouch. Stretching
  • Physical therapy has saved me! Mine was crippling!
  • I'm a bit late to this thread but I find mine flares up a bit if I am constipated. Once things get more regular, it seems to go away. Just a thought to keep things movin!
