A couple of visits to Osteo fixed it for me as well, but helped that I worked alongside one!]]> Wed, 09 Mar 2011 20:53:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1282113&title=sciatica-pains#1282113 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1282002&title=sciatica-pains#1282002 Author: tiptoes

I've got something similar to sciatica again already too, and was reading about it and a couple of suggestions were sitting on those yoga balls, concentrating on not slouching when sitting and heat packs. The worst for me is at night and since sleeping with a cushion between my legs and making sure I'm not too curled up (though knees bent). I've noticed some improvement. Otherwise can your DP/DH give you a bit of a massage using something like arnica (one suggestion someone mentioned was a rub down with a tennis ball some how helps)?

I have the same worry, how do you go to the physio with a toddler, I took him to the scan and then didn't go well so I imagine the physio would be much the same.

I often use the support belts things I was given last time too, I had a belt but that's a bit annoying as it slips, I've also got this tube bandage looking thing that seems to help support a bit too.

I just did another quick search and a few other suggestions were:

*stretching,
*swimming
*walking
*pelvic tilts
*heat packs]]> Wed, 09 Mar 2011 18:37:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1282002&title=sciatica-pains#1282002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1281347&title=sciatica-pains#1281347 Author: rachelsea

I have it too SMS (also earlier than I got it with DD), I had my first accupuncture appt yesterday and it does feel better. Also she told me that if I start feeling the pain to go on all fours and rock back and forth for a while.

The number to ring at Hutt for accupuncture is 5666999 and ask for Maternity Enquiries and just book an appointment, I think they have physio too just ring and ask. You can drop Taylah off here on the way if you need to if you have an appt at the hospital ]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:29:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1281347&title=sciatica-pains#1281347 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1281321&title=sciatica-pains#1281321 Author: _SMS_

Wow really. It only ever helped me for a short time after with DD. But it was later in pregnancy.

Ok i will look into booking an appointment then. Hopefully i can get it sorted.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 16:01:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1281321&title=sciatica-pains#1281321 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38313&PID=1281313&title=sciatica-pains#1281313 Author: JessDub

I wouldn't muck around- you should get to your physio, should only take one session to sort out.

I've had great success with my osteopath, she can fix things in one visit. It costs $35 (with ACC) per visit and it's money well spent. One session at about 15 weeks preg sorted out my lower back pain and sciatica, as well as my headaches.

ETA: I don't mean to imply osteopathy is miracle one-off cure! Since I put my back out last year, I probably revisit osteopath every three months. Things seem to start hurting again then and she knows what needs fixing.

I had sciatica pains quite bad while pregnant with DD. I had to wear a support belt from the physio. But it got really hard to move end of pregnancy.

This time seems im getting it already. Just on my left side. I have no idea how i would go to physio appointments with a toddler so need to look at other ways to try help it.

Has anyone else had this and done something other than physio? is there any natural remedies i can take? or any tips to make it go away?
