Sciatica: This is a fairly common problem. The position of the baby can put pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause irritation - even some degree of damage in very sensitive people. A physical therapist, accupuncture or specialist massage therapist can often help a lot. It's good that the x-ray is normal, but nerves don't show on x-rays. This should improve w/ proper help. Congratulations on the baby!
