Scatika ketika hamil.

Salam! Ish, memang sakit sciatica ni payah sangat during pregnancy, terutama trimester kedua when the baby's position puts more pressure on the nerve. Dari apa yang I know, the paracetamol and topical cream memang kadang tak cukup untuk sciatica yang serius, you might need something more targeted like physiotherapy specifically for pregnant mums, or even gentle stretching exercises designed untuk sciatica relief. Someone in my mum group mentioned that changing how she sat (more pelvic support, avoiding crossing legs) and doing light prenatal stretches actually helped more than the medicine, and she also tried warm compresses on and off. But honestly sayang, if the clinic's first-line treatments aren't working and they're already mentioning hospital referral, I think it's really worth pursuing that, the specialist can do proper assessment and might suggest things like physio or safer pain management options that are suitable for where you are in your pregnancy. Do check with your doctor or gynaecologist soon, ya? Sciatica can be managed well dengan the right approach, but you deserve proper care for this. Hang in there, it does get better!
