I've had sciatica for about 2 years now & being pregnant has only made it worse lol. I'm bartender/waitress so I'm on my feet 24/7. The pain got so bad that I had to stop working at about 26weeks because I can barely put any pressure on my right leg. It's horrible :( I only have about 8 more weeks to go though so I'm pushing through! I hope it gets better for you hun :)
