This is one of the most common complaints I see during pregnancy, and while it’s common, it is not something you just have to accept. I explain what sciatica actually is in pregnancy, why it often feels like deep hip or leg pain, and how pelvic alignment, core support, and hormonal changes all play a role. I also walk you through practical steps you can take to feel better, including when stretching helps and when it does not, how nerve flossing and foam rolling can make a difference, and why supporting your core and pelvis is so important. If you are dealing with sciatic pain and wondering what is normal, what to try at home, and when to seek extra support, this episode will give you clarity and actionable guidance so you can enjoy your pregnancy with less pain.
