    That sounds more like pelvic girdle pain which can be at the front or back of the pelvis. True sciatica is not caused by pregnancy (but can be aggravated by pregnancy if you already suffer from sciatica). It's usually confined to the right side of your back (mostly in the buttock) as your sciatic nerve is in the right side of your body. PGP pain can be felt either side and goes away soon after giving birth as it is strictly pregnancy related.
