Along with thyroid checks, I had bad sciatica pain. Please mention this to your gynac in your next visit, they might recommend some safe physiotherapy exercises.

In my experience, gentle stretching and sleeping on your side with a pillow under your belly helps a lot. Just don't sit in one position for too long.

Oh that shooting pain is terrible, I had it so bad! Try using a pregnancy pillow between your knees while sleeping, it really helps take the pressure off.

Sciatica can be really uncomfortable due to the shifting pelvic bones. It's best to consult a prenatal physical therapist or ask your gynac for safe stretches.

I remember that pain, it made walking so difficult. But don't worry, it completely goes away once the baby is born, just use a warm compress for now.
