I am having some REALLY bad sciatic nerve pains!! Sometimes I literally CANNOT walk because it hurts…

I have it

I had the same thing, the doctor said there was nothing I could really do.... mine went away towards my 2nd trimester then came back right before my delivery.

and there is nothing I can do

I have neurophysiology and I'm having pains because of it. I can't take my meds for it bc its not safe for my unborn son. So I deal with this pain all day everyday. I get some relief from the cream my doc gave me but its not doing much but numbing my legs an feet a lil.

I had it really bad with my pregnancy but the stretching and alternating hot and cold helped a lot, especially that belly band thing they sell.

yoga

I have it. Its horrible pain. I was told yoga can help. I was just waiting to hit that 2nd trimester to start so i can be in that "safe zone"

@tfaria, I just got a yoga video!! When are we able to start it?

@raisinglcp_, I am going all natural if I can make it!

All the more reason why I don't want an epidural 😢 but then again, I've never had a child... so I have NO CLUE how bad birthing pains are.

Back pains are awful. I have scoliosis so I'm always hurting, especially now.

@brbsmomma, thank you so much! I'm laying on a heating pad right now but I don't ever do it for long cause I'm afraid my core will heat up too much 😱

@katlovesj, I totally feel you girl!

@raisinglcp_, oh my goodness. Yeah, all I've heard is bad bad things about it. I'm sorry you had that experience 😞

Definitely good with pain, so as of right now I'm planning on going all natural!

You can start anytime in the 2nd trimester unless your doctor says otherwise.
