I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my lower back and leg, which feels like sciatica. It's becoming very uncomfortable during my pregnancy. What are some common ways to treat or manage sciatica while expecting?
A warm hot water bag and some gentle butterfly stretches were my best friends for sciatica! 🦋 Definitely ask your doctor for some safe prenatal exercises to ease the lower back pressure.
Please be extremely careful with stretching or exercises when you have sciatica. I had a difficult pregnancy and my doctor advised against doing random yoga poses without guidance. Consult your doctor or a proper physiotherapist first.
Welcome to the pregnant penguin waddle club! Sciatica pain had me crying and laughing at the same time. Sleeping with a pregnancy pillow between my knees was the only thing that saved my life.
Sciatica pain is absolute torture during pregnancy. I took a few sessions with a certified prenatal physiotherapist and it worked wonders. Don't just sit with the pain, get professional help.
Yaar, sciatica is actually very common but so annoying! Gentle pelvic tilts and warm water compresses helped me a lot. But seriously, talk to your gynac before doing any heavy stretches.
