Sciatic-HELP!!!

Ahhhh, only 9 weeks along and my sciatic is already killing me.
Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to find relief?

I layed on the opposite side, I layed on my back, I layed on my tummy, I propped up a big pillow.
It hurts so bad...and I hate to think that if I'm already experiencing this so early out, what is the other 7 months going to be like??

Sorry, I'm whining because I hurt and had trouble sleeping  :-(

Thanks!

The only thing that helps me with lower back pain is heat and massage. I love my ho****er bottle.

Where do you find a ho****er bottle 'cause that sounds good right now....
Thanks!

You can find them at any drug store (CVS, Rite-Aid, etc.) Sometimes they market them as "douche bags" or "enema bags", LOL!

Thank you  :-)  I may have to go shopping tonight!!!

Sometimes I find if i stick my but in the air, and my head down and sway a bit I can get the turkey to shift off the area that he is pressing on, and I get a bit of relief. Not a pretty position, but it works.
Sadly, there will be no mystery in our marriage once this pregnancy is done.

That's is such a funny visual...but hey, I'm up to trying anything!!
Thanks  :-)

It's amazing how pregnancy (and 12 years) leaves little to the imagination anymore....

Mine didn't start until 31 weeks and I go to physical therapy two times a week. Mine is so bad though I couldn't walk barely. But it is getting better!

Glad it's getting better.
I'm silly, I went for a pedicure last night and that 45 minutes in their massage chair, and the massage of my legs was awesome!!!

But I did make an appt with the chiropractor for Friday...it'll be my first time ever....

I totally feel your pain, Jessica !!! My uterus is posterior & tilts to the right. So, I've had back issues with both pregnancies. I agree with the heat & stretching. I use a heating pad on a low setting (OB says it's fine), I sleep with 2 body pillows & I do stretches in the morning & at night. I also take Tylenol on days that I work because I'm on feet all day. We have the right to whine every now & then...Hope you get some relief !!!
