Back pain? Sciatic nerve?

Question

Anyone experiencing back pain, specifically the sciatic nerve? I’m only 15 weeks along so I thought it was kind of early to have back pain. Hurts like a bitch...

Answer

I think my sciatica flared up around 17 weeks so you’re not that far off, everything is already subtly shifting so all it takes is to move in just the wrong way & suddenly it’s all “OW!” It was about an hour and a half of weeding in a flower bed that triggered mine, it bugged me on & off for the rest of the pregnancy :( My main advice is to start sleeping w/ a pillow between your knees to help w/ hip alignment, ask your doctor about safe gentle stretches you can do & ice it when it gets really bad

Answer

I’m almost 12 weeks and have had back pain for the last few weeks, just getting worse the further along I am😩
