this shooting pain from my kamar going down one leg is killing me yaar, third tri and it gets worse when I sit too long. doc said its sciatica but didnt say much beyond that. what actually helped u get some relief?
Bahut bura lagta hai jab yeh pain hota hai, mere ko bhi pichli baar bahut pareshan kiya tha. I used to apply warm mustard oil gently on my lower back and did simple heating pad therapy. Try using a small pillow under your knees when sleeping, it really helps a lot.
I remember having this terrible nerve pain when I was pregnant, and even now while nursing I have to watch my posture. Doing mild cat-cow stretches daily really helped release that pressure. Just make sure you aren't standing for too long at a stretch, dear.
I felt so helpless when this pain started out of nowhere in my fifth month, I actually cried a couple of times. My therapist suggested using a hot water bag and taking warm baths, which gave me so much comfort. It does get better after delivery, hang in there!
Oh god, that sciatic nerve pain made me walk like a penguin throughout my second trimester! Honestly, the only thing that saved me was forcing my husband to give me light lower back rubs. Also, a pregnancy pillow is your new best friend now, just order it already.
Look, sciatic pain is very common because of the baby's weight shifting. Don't sit cross-legged at all, it makes it worse. Get a good maternity belt for support when walking and do gentle prenatal stretching, it worked wonders for both my pregnancies.
