Sudden pain that radiates along your lower back, hips, or legs can be a troubling experience for most pregnant women. Sciatica pain pregnancy is a normal type of pain that comes about as a result of irritation of the sciatic nerve or even compression of the sciatic nerve due to changes in your body with the coming of the pregnancy. This nerve travels from the lower spine, down each leg, and to the hip; hence, if it is affected, the pain may extend long after the lower part of the body.
In contrast to normal back aches, the sciatica pain is usually electric, burning, or sharp. It can enter, leave, or even stay with the day and make it hard to engage in simple activities. As pregnancy triggers meticulous physical transformations, sciatica may start developing even if you haven't experienced any problem in your back previously.
