Sciatica : There may be pressure on your Sciatic nerve called Sciatica. This is common during pregnancy due to increase in the abdominal girth, but can occur in many other circumstances as well. Whatever is causing your bloating may be also be the cause of pressure on your sciatica nerve. It is important that you see your physician to have an evaluation including imaging studies of the abdomen and pelvis.
