What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition that involves pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down to the legs. Pregnant women may experience sciatica due to the pressure exerted on the sciatic nerve by the growing uterus or changes in posture.

Weight Distribution:

 Changes in weight distribution and the position of the baby may impact the sciatic nerve, causing pain and discomfort.

Causes of Sciatica during Pregnancy

 Sciatica during pregnancy can be attributed to several factors, including:

 Uterine Pressure:

As your uterus expands during pregnancy, it may indirectly exert pressure on the sciatic nerve, leading to discomfort and pain.

Postural Changes:

Alterations in posture, common during pregnancy, can contribute to sciatic nerve compression.

Symptoms of Sciatica

  • Radiating Pain:

Pain that radiates from the lower back down one or both legs.

  • Numbness or Tingling:

Feelings of numbness or tingling in the leg or foot.

  • Muscle Weakness:

 Weakness in the leg muscles, making it challenging to move or stand.

  •  Sharp or Shooting Pain:

 Sharp, shooting pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting.
