Sciatica

Probably my first pregnancy niggles...

So far, I've been spared morning sickness, elephant feet, lower backache etc.

But over the last 2 days (since the start of 32 weeks), I've been hit with backside pain which goes down my left leg. This happens only when I've had too much dinner to eat. Tough to get to bed on a full stomach. When the food digest, the pain is gone. Oddly, pain doesn't come during the day even when I overdose on breakfast and lunch. Perhaps it's all the walking around Philly that is helping!! (On the average, I walk about 2-3 miles a day to and from the city!)

The doctor said it's Sciatica and it's common amongst pregnant women.
