    Out of my mind. Back in five minutes...

    Take the physio, and also ask about things like sitting positions and stuff... I find mine is worse with a day on the office chair, and better if I do a few hours on the fit ball...

    Get the physio to also give you some leg stretches, as I know mine is caused in part by my really tight leg muscles, and if I give a good stretch at night it can help, but it has to be the right stretch IYKWIM...

    Hope you get some relief, as sciatic pain is not fun and you dont want it to turn into anything worse... xo

    Hey RR!

    Thanks for checking on me!

    I haven't actually got round to making an appointment with the physio yet but I did ring them and they are happy to see me anytime.

    I'm going to hopefully see them next week.
    The pain hasn't actually been too bad the past while so it's good. We just got a new bed so I wonder if that was exacerbating things and bit and now I am used to the bed, it's not so bad!

    It could be the bed, but id go see the physio sooner rather than later just so it doesnt get worse later in the pregnancy!
    You will thank yourself afterwards
