Ive been doing yoga and bit of swimming for the last 5 months , am 21 weeks now and have very bad lower back pain, I think its the sciatic nerve , its verrry painful. Other than that I'm trying to do as much as i can before i get very heavy. Is anyone else feeling it hard after a long walk or exercise?
I had sciatic pain in my lower back, except that I thought it was just muscle stiffness. My right hip seemed to be stuck with pain. I was only at 20 weeks and already walking like a penguin.
During my antenatal class I met the osteopath Dr. Stephen in Medicentre Motor City. I had two sessions - one for the joint and one for the muscle relaxation and the pain is gone for weeks now :) Apparently some joints are not easily loosened by our precious hormones (my least favourite word for the past months) so they require a professional hand. He told me the technique he used can safely be done within the second trimester. I would recommend seeing someone; we don't have to endure ALL the pain!
