It's amazing how much better it feels. Did not affect labour. The thing that worked best was massages from my husband going from just below my waist at my back, then down the leg.

I had a massotheripist work on me for 2 hrs, Thats what worked for me but different things for differnt people. Talk to your dr before you take anything. Chiroprator, might help too.

(it's what is known as low back pain). Stretching is good for it, lie on the floor with your arms to your sides, knees bent then with the top half of your body flat on the floor shift your legs over to one side and hold for a count of ten then the other side for a count of ten. Do this at least ten times. Alternating ice packs and heating pad also help, every 15 minutes change from ice pack to heating pad. Walk alot, try not to sit for long periods of time as that only aggravates the condition. When you go to bed place pillows under your thighs to elevate your lower spine. sciatica is an inflammation of the sciatic nerves of the lower spine. (it’s what is known as low back pain).

The baby is pushing on your nerve so there's not a lot you can do. Just take it easy and try seeing a chiropractor, they can give you some good advice on pain management. As far as labor, it could affect the position you give birth in if it's painful but that's about it! DO NOT TAKE IBUPROFEN!!!! All you can do is get plenty of rest.
