FAQ06
Pregnancy sciatica questions
Is leg pain in pregnancy always sciatica?
No. Other causes can look the same, such as muscle strain or circulation problems, so a prenatal provider should check any new leg pain, tingling or swelling.
Can I use a heating pad for sciatica during pregnancy?
Ask your provider first, since pregnancy changes what is safe for you. Skin should never be overheated or left on a heating pad overnight.
When should I call my provider about pregnancy sciatica?
Call when leg pain is new, spreads, or brings weakness or numbness. Trouble passing urine or numbness between the legs means go to urgent care today.
