Hi there

I will offer you the same advise my dr gave me when I had sciatica.

Grin and bear it...and count down the days till ya bubs is born!!!

My response....Geee, thankyou, how helpful (without a grin!!!)

Hi I am sorry to hear that you have sciatica.

There is stretches you can do but my best advice is to go and get a pregnancy massage from a remedial massage therapist.  I would love to give you one but i am on the central coast.

I work with pregnant women all the time and the benefits of pregnancy massage are magnificent.

Here is my blog on pregnancy massage i hope it helps you

If you are looking for a therapist and you are in australia check out http://www.naturaltherapypages.com.au then click on the modality you are looking for such as Remedial Massage or Pregnancy massage, the post code you are in and off you go

Whether it's pre-conception, during your pregnancy, or during labour, massage has great benefits for the pregnant woman.

With extra tension in the body caused by hormones and a shift in your centre of gravity, having a massage can be a real life saver.

Massage during pregnancy can reduce peripheral swelling, help to prevent insomnia, reduce muscle cramps and back pain, and soothe the nervous system.

Regular massages during pregnancy can also shorten labour time and make the return of your optimal fitness easier.

During labour, massage is an effective pain relief tool. Ask about how your partner can massage you during labour, and find out from myself Jennifer the important trigger points to AVOID during pregnancy, as it's possible to induce labour by applying pressure to the corrent trigger point.

Wishing you a wonderful Pregnancy

Poor you.  You have a pinched sciatic (spelling???) nerve, as you are still full of arms and legs, your options are unfortunately limited.  You should try hot & cold packs, 20 min of each and then just hot (microwaveable wheat ones are great, hold heat for a long time)

gotta go, good luck
