A member asked:
I have sciatica and i'm 37weeks pregnant, lately my lower back pain i went to labor and delivery saturday and was told i'm 2cm and 80% effected?

Yes: It is very common to develop back pain during pregnancy or from delivery of baby. If it doesn't resolve, i would consider MRI evaluation after delivery to see what can be done to relieve the pain. Most times after delivery the extra weight and compression on the spine is reduced enough that the pain goes away.
