Sciatic Nerve pain when lying down, advice?

[Squiggy]

I developed hip pains and sciatica during my first pregnancy in 2013. It comes and goes and can happen during the day, but mostly it happens at night when I'm lying down. I find that lying in bed aggravates my hips and then I start getting pain. Aside from "getting a new mattress" repeatedly, what can I do to alleviate it?

Hi Squiggy.Maybe you could get some kind of pregnancy pillow.

Could you speak to a physio? I can't remember specifics as it was 7 years ago but physio gave me stretches to do to help alleviate the pain. Hope you find something that helps!

U can get some great pillows. I get SPD and sciatica in my pregnancies but it hasn't started yet. I'll be investing in a good pillow when it does.
There's some pregnancy excersises you can do as well.
