A member asked:
I am pregnant 2m and i had sciatic nerve pain but feel better now and light pain. can i drive a car and start exercise like walking or stretching?

Yes: You should discuss with your OB too. You should be fine to walk, stretch, lift light weights, yoga, etc as long as the exercises feel ok. Seeing a physical therapist can help to give you guidelines on good exercises as well.
