Sciatica is less common than most people think, much less common than back pain. It is often caused by standing or sitting badly, but the pain can be made worse by bending without use of the legs or unsupported twisted or sideways movements.
I am 9 weeks pregnant with my first baby, I have never had back trouble before but now I am having sciatic pain; it is on my right side, right in my lower back/upper buttock cheek but not down my leg at all.
I have tried baths, hot water bottles etc but am worried about stretching it and causing more damage – are stretches safe and are they safe during pregnancy?
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your query. Please discuss doing any exercises or stretches etc with your doctor/healthcare provider first to ensure they are safe for you.
