You could try showering with the water on
hot or using icy hot massaged in.

Why not? It is a topical cream. There is
nothing that would ever come in contact
with the baby.

Icy hot, ben gay, all are fine to use when
you are pregnant.
ETA: If you are concerned, call up your
doctor's office and ask the nurse to make
sure you are comfortable with doing it.

Is your mom a doctor or a nurse?
You could go to the chiropracter. And,
yes, it is fine to do that when you are
pregnant. In fact, if I ever got pregnant
again, I'd go the chiro EVERY week to keep
that dreaded sciatica at bay!

ask here

When used according to directions,
acetaminophen (the active ingredient in
Tylenol) is considered safe for pregnant
women.
Care providers typically recommend
acetaminophen for almost every ache and
pain experienced in pregnancy. It has a
long record of safety.
