You deal. I'm sorry you are suffering but
there is not very much you can do.
Massages? Maybe your doctor will refer you
to physical therapy (didn't help me!). But
for the most part, you are going to have
to live with it.
The good news is it goes away after the
baby is born!

i had it with william really bad and i
didnt know if you could do anything for it
and i just struggled. i just started to
get it back today and i know its going to
be harder this time round because with
william i almost fell down the stairs as
the pain was so bad at times. this time im
scared the same thing will happen again as
im top floor flat and will have to carry
william up and down those stairs.
i guess if there's really nothing that can
help, ill have to get onto the council and
pray they move us 
thanks for the input

Stairs are awful. Don't go up the stairs
if possible with sciatica! Honest. Stairs
= BAD BAD BAD!
You can try those tummy bands. The
physical therapist said it would hold my
belly up and keep my back from shifting.
That did not work either. I had it from
around 9 weeks until delivery. I felt much
better a few weeks after I had her.
Good luck!!

Lucky me, living 3 floors up with no lift!
Okay, i'm definately going to mention it
to my doctor and start complaining to the
council otherwise i think i'll be under
house arrest, too scared to go down those
stairs!
Thanks Ingi. I'll definately look into
that. Seriously, if it helps the
slightest, i'll try it

All i seem to be drinking is water anyway
because the amount of times i caught a
water infection during my last pregnancy
is unbelievable, so i'm drinking loads and
hoping i dont catch that this time LOL.
Isn't pregnancy fun?

i had sciatica both times but i didnt get
it until the end with joseph, i figured it
would go away, but after i had him i
couldnt sit on the floor without the pain
coming back or lay on hard floor either,
then it started early with jordynne omg
it sucks , everytime i swept and mopped it
killed me so my house wasnt the cleanest
while i was pregnant. I still get sciatica
pain sometdays when i do alot of strenious
work. LIke i will be bent over sweepin and
moppin and folding clothes etc, its only
on my left side though, sometims i cant
even sit on that side comfortably.

Not sure what they do, or can do, but i
hope you get something that will help!

i just hope it wont be as bad as last
time. the worst part was actually in
labour. i was actually crying not because
of the contractions but because of the
sciatica!
you can take all my pains if you want them
sarah, being bloated constantly. i'm
willing to give it away

I have sciatica and i'm not pregnant. When
t flares up it is agony. I find the best
thing is a hot water bottle where it
hurts. I've tried the heat pads but they
are rubbish.
I can't recommend anything for the
shooting pains in the legs though- i just
cry like a baby with it usually

it's not been as bad today. it hurts
occassionally when i'm doing the housework
but it's not been as bad yet, but bad
enough to mention it to the doctor. i hope
it doesnt get any worse like with the last
pregnancy
