Will the sciatica go after baby is born?

[Twocatsonebaby]

Currently 35w and miserable

Mine did. Baby born at 39 weeks and that was that.

That gives me hope :)

Mine went away too

In pregnancy I think its usually due to the baby pressing on nerves so should lift when baby's out. I had it a bit in last pregnancy but only up until I delivered; nothing afterwards

I know a few people who had sciatica when pregnant, and they all said it vanished when the baby was born.

Thank you all ♥ gives me a lot of comfort. Sometimes it hurts too much to do anything. I just have to keep pushing myself

I had sacroiliac joint issues and sciatica when pregnant. The sacroiliac joint issues persisted for a long time after birth, but the sciatica resolved almost instantly once the weight of the baby wasn't pressing on nerves.

Yes, as soon as it pops out the pain will be gone! I had it with all three babies and it dissapeared as soon as they were born.

It's miserable, isn't it? I remember being unable to sleep due to the pain, I couldn't roll over in bed, get out of the bath by myself, go upstairs without agony, couldn't sit, couldn't stand... My dad has had sciatica for a few weeks now and I can see how utterly ground down by it he is getting. It's such a horrible pain, much sympathy OP.

Mine went straight away after giving birth, I've only met one person who still had trouble with it afterwards, but that resolved itself after 6 months or so.

I had it from week 37 to 41. It disappeared as my waters broke and I could walk around again for the final 24 hours. No problems at all post birth.

Good luck OP. It's miserable.

Maybe. Mine has improved but not gone away, but I have a lot of other joint issues which make it worse.

Have you tried sleeping with pillows between your knees? I still have to do that.

Yes, but not straight after.

Roomba yes! It's awful especially for sleep :( it worries me just as much as my mom suffers and my granddad suffered so much he needed an epidural in the end but I don't know much about the condition. Just really hope it goes within the next 5 weeks
