Sciatic nerve pain relief!?

Question

Anyone else struggling with terrible sciatic nerve pain? It started for me at about 10 weeks and had gradually been getting worse and worse. Nothing seems to help. Exercise and walking make it worse and stretching hasn’t helped either. I’m desperate! Any tricks that I should know about? I’m 23 weeks now and I’m not sure how I will deal with this for another 17 weeks!

Answer

i had it a with my 2nd but not until 34 weeks(only had it for 4 weeks before he was born) i got it with my 3rd late month 4  or early month 5. i also had the thing where my ab muscles split. it was excureating to stand, sit, lay, anything. it was so bad i got an handicap sticker from my doctor. 
what FINALLY gave me some relief was stacking 2 boppy pillows on top of each other and putting my bump in the hole. then stacking some pillows for my chest and head and i would sleep in my tummy. best sleep ever!

Answer

Sit in a chair and like cross your leg over your other one (put your ankle on your opposite knee) and then kind of lean forward. That gives temporary relief, but the chiropractor relieved mine. I went once every 2 weeks for a few months to help with it.

Answer

Oh god, so sorry you're going through that. I had it for 3 weeks in my 2nd trimester, it was excruciating. So what helped me was getting my partner to massage the bone right above the butt crack - thats what my midwife recommended and it helped big time. Massaging that area will relive the nerve pressure that the disc is sitting on.
Also doing sciatica stretches that I found on YouTube. - these kind of helped, was crying while doing them lol
It ended up going away 🤷‍♀️

Answer

ive been like that since week 26, i am 31 weeks now, have tried and done everything everyone recommends and nothing has helped at all. my doc prescribed me tylenol #3 and it makes it bearable to where i can get a few hours of sleep.  other that that nothing helps at all, in pain 24/7, all positions hurt, can't stand /walk/sit/ hard to change positions in bed, 😫 its to the point where i wish I wasn't pregnant anymore (but i do love my baby so much 😢)
