sciatica

Has anyone experienced  sciatica pain? I went to my doctor yesterday for my 20 week check up and told her about the pain because it has started a couple days before. She referred to me a physical therapist for sciatica but who knows how long. Anyone have tips/tricks to help with this? Should/when should I call my doctor again since the pain has gotten worse. I can't move,walk or stand without the pain being terrible. Defiantly a 9/10 at least.

Thankfully my pain didn't last long at all. I changed the way I slept and baby moved around and the sciatica went away.

I started with bad sciatica around week 24, started going to chiropractor and the pain has been practically gone! I'm currently 34 weeks.Def made a huge difference for me. If you do go to a chiropractor just make sure they are specially certified to work with pregnant woman. Good luck!
