You hear a lot about the common problems that come with pregnancy like constipation, fainting, incontinence and varicose veins but the one thing that has affected me immensely is sciatica. I have only heard one other pregnant lady talking about and that was on a mums group on Facebook. Honestly, if it was not for sciatica I would have nothing to complain about this pregnancy, sciatica started when my pregnancy began and within 10 minutes of walking I'm in agony for the rest of the day. When I put pressure on my foot I get a sharp pain shoot from the top of my hip right down into my foot, it makes sitting down uncomfortable and getting up and walking is just plain torture sometimes when I get up I nearly collapse and it brings me to tears. The only thing that I found has helped a tiny bit is taking a long warm bath but after that, I have to call my partner to the bathroom to help me out the bath because it hurts too much to get up. They say do exercise to help the pain
