I tried multiple stretches/exercises/pain relief movements recommended by others but got virtually no relief. This exercise/stretch routine, however, gave me great relief! Thank you!! Currently 25 weeks pregnant with my fourth child and I'll put this on a playlist to return to throughout the rest of gestation! ❤ ❤❤
So glad this was helpful! Hang in there mama!
Bless your soul - I’m 33 weeks pregnant and have been in so much pain these past few days. These stretches helped almost immediately. Thank you!
I am so glad this was helpful for you!
This was god sent. Bless you ❤
Hang in there mama!!
I’m in second trimester…I’ve been struggling even walking without limping or getting back spasms…. These stretches are EXACTLY what I needed!!! Thank you for creating this video ❤❤
Oh no so sorry to hear that! I am glad you found your way to this workout! You are awesome!
Thanks for yet more fitness video content! I hope that your pregnancy continues to go smoothly. Happy Mother's Day! ❤️
Thank you for putting the workouts to such good use!
This was helpful! Tip tho: not sure if you can control it but the ad in the middle of the video while pregnant and in a weird position was very awkward trying to skip the ad going back to the video 😂
SO glad this is helpful! Thanks for feedback!
Love this!
OMG thank you soooo much this gave me instant relief 🙏😭😭
So glad this is helpful! Hang in there mama!
These were so awesome for my sciatica pain! Blessing you from the core of my heart ❤
So glad this has been helpful for you! You are so awesome mama!
Thanks so much! I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. I am suffering from sciatica pain tremendously. I have even gone to physical therapy, massages, I have done every stretch, heat, cold, you name it... and I felt no improvement until I bumped into your video. Thanks to you I am no longer in this intense pain I had. This is truly a gift! Much appreciated 🙏 😊
I am so happy to hear this has been helpful for you!!
This was a God send! Thank you NML team!
So glad this was helpful!
You are a life saver. 30 weeks pregnant and waiting for my next chiro appointment for relief. These helped so much in the meantime!
So happy to hear this workout has helped you! Keep up the great work!!
I’m only 25 weeks but my sciatica suddenly hurts! I was googling some stretches and yours came up! I already do several of your workouts, so I know this will be good! Thank you so much for all you do~
I hope this is helpful for you!
12 weeks & the sciatica pain is coming on strong. Thank you for making this video 💖
So glad this workout is helpful for you! Keep up the awesome work mama!
I'm at 32 weeks and in pain. This 10 min stretch brought me some immediate relief. Thanks so much! I learnt a lot!
I am glad this stretch routine was helpful for you!
I truly love your exercises
So happy to hear that!!
I really needed this! Thank you!
So glad this was helpful!
I cant thank you enough for this informative video! I am in my 9th month and just got sciatica pain that I could cry from. I hope to do these stretches daily and get some relief. Thank you!!!
So glad this is helpful to you! Thank you for choosing to sweat with us!
You are the gods gift for me now.... Thankyou so much for this
So glad this was helpful! Hang in there!
I see all the other comments here thanking you for this, and I’m just going to add that it works postpartum as well. I’ve been dealing with this pain from the middle of pregnancy into 6 months postpartum and I’ve tried every other pregnancy and postpartum stretch video I found. Some have helped, but this is the one that finally got my muscle to release my nerve and gave me complete pain relief for the first time in almost a year. Thank you, I’m actually crying lol 😂
So happy to hear this was helpful for you! You are so awesome mama! Hang in there!
I’m so thankful for finding this video - I had no idea I was doing the figure 4 stretch wrong this whole time and I’ve been saying to my husband “I swear my stretching is making my sciatica pain worse” and now it makes sense!! This newly tweaked figure 4 stretch is so so relieving on the left side where I’m suffering. Thank you for this information!!
Something I learned too!!
Same here! I've been doing that stretch religiously hoping to relieve my pain. Thanks for letting me know that ive been doing it wrong!
I've been in pain for 2 weeks! After doing the stretches in your video I felt relief a few hours later. Thank you so much. I can walk around without hurting anymore. Everytime I feel it coming back I do the stretches and works everytime.
So glad this workout is helpful! Hang in there mama!
Many thanks, this clip actually helped to ease off my sciatica during pregnancy ❤
So glad this has been helpful! Hang in there!
Perfect !! Saved me! ❤ Obrigada !!
So glad this can be helpful to you! you are so awesome!
Thank you so much 💕 really
I am so glad this was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video ! I’ve been dying from this pain and this seemed to give me relief ! Thanks you
I am so glad this has been helpful for you!
This was really helpful!! Thankyou :)
I'm so glad!
30 weeks pregnant and thanks to these comments I can’t wait to try this in the morning! Sciatica pain has been kicking my butt the last week. It used to come and go and now it’s constant.
Hang in there mama!!
I just did these stretches and boy did they feel good! I’m not pregnant, but I have been dealing with sciatica for years!!! And, I have been flare ups lately, along with really tight hip flexors! This was really good! But, I will opt for my percussion gun over that painful foam roller…lol. You look good and I can’t believe this is your third child…goals for anyone who is wanting to be a mommy! Mine is grown and I’m too old to have any more…congrats to you young lady! Just subscribed to your channel recently!
I'm so happy you found your way here and found these stretches helpful!
@@nourishmovelove I used to do the same thing as you with the one seated stretch and boy it makes a difference to do it the way you showed it in that video!
I'm pregnant with my 2nd(27wks) and I'm so glad I found your videos. I had terrible sciatica pain with my first and today it showed its ugly head again 😩 doing these stretches have really help me so I can move and walk again. Thank you!!😁

I am not pregnant but I do suffer from sciatica pain so I thank you for this gift💖
I'm so glad this was helpful for you!
These are wonderful. I've had sciatica for years and these feel so good. Thank you. However, I believe it's piriformis (pronounced pee-ruh-FOR-muhs).
So happy to hear these workouts are helpful for you! Keep coming back for more!
Wow! I wish this had been around with my first! I’m on my second pregnancy almost to the second trimester and I have had pain since nearly the beginning. I just finished these stretches and I don’t feel any pain right now!

So glad this is helpful - hang in there!
I'm 26 weeks pregnant, struggling and can't sleep due this sciatic pain...😢😢 Browsing CZcams for some exercises. Thanks for your video, I'm doing this right now at 1:25 am.

What is the brand of the bench you are using? I need to get one. These are great stretches! Thank you!!
It's from Torque Fitness! An investment piece but really great for modifications or box jumps! -- www.torquefitness.com/#a_aid=nourishmovelove
Been having this sciatic pain since I was like 20 weeks currently 25 weeks and 5 days and it's so bad, hoping this works!!!
So glad this is helpful! Keep up the awesome work mama!
Never in my life have I experienced such pain. It is so bad I can’t even sleep or walk. It has made me very emotional but I will give this a try and hope it helps me 😭
I hope this brings you some relief!! I've been there too and know how tough it is - hang in there!
Any reccomendations for hip flexor stretches in the front that also won't irritate pubic symphysis pain? I know you're supposed to avoid bilateral/lunge positions
Here are workouts to try -- www.nourishmovelove.com/30-minute-full-body-pregnancy-workout/ and www.nourishmovelove.com/10-minute-pregnancy-leg-workout/ Hang in there!
Ive been dealing with sciatica for nearly five yrs and now im 22 weeks pregnant. The pregnancy has made it really worse along with pelvic girdle pain. But these stretches really gave me some relief. Thanks a million!!!!!! Also do you have anything for pelvic girdle pain as well.
Oh no mama! So glad this workout was helpful! Hang in there!
Hi just wanted to ask, if this type of execises, suitable for prenant women with low lying plancenta too?
I would recommend asking your doctor!
Hello am 32 week am having so much pain more than 15days 2 time i already go to the doctor i get medecine it calm down and re start again am having tired my children seen sad i must take bath and go on bed i can't doing nothing i hope god have make me see your video and it will helped me a lott❤❤
Thinking of you mama!! Hang in there! ❤
Do these stretches work if the sciatica pain is unbearable? I couldn't even move the other day without screaming and crying. It's not as bad now but still very painful to move
This should help! Hang in there mama!
I love these stretches but I do not have a box like that. How can I do them without the box?
yes or using a couch is a great option too!
I'm 35 week pregnant..can you suggest me something to induce labor or water break exercise please
Here are 8 exercises to induce labor -- www.nourishmovelove.com/8-exercises-to-induce-labor/ I would recommend talking to your doctor before trying to induce labor naturally. In general, pregnancies are considered full term at 37 weeks of pregnancy. You should not try to induce labor before late in the third trimester!
Can i do in first trimester of pregnancy??
Yes!
If you don’t have a box like that at home what could you use ?
A chair or couch!
Anyone having a hard time just to move into these positions? Like I can’t even get back up
It would be nice if you could make one for bad sciatica situation like me
So sorry for what you are going through! Take this at your own pace!
Not sure is it just me, I suffered from minor sciatica and in 23 weeks pregnancy. Just tried few stretches following the video and I end up in tears couldn’t stand up at all, took me 15 mins with my husband’s help to stand up from the floor and now I am in pain more than even :( I really hope this work but I am scared of trying other exercises without going to check with a physiotherapist
So sorry you are going through this pain - hang in there mama!!
Is it safe for second trimester?
Yes!
Does the sciatic or the hips affect the birth?
No helps with the pain!
I am just 10 weeks pregnant but i have this issue..is it safe in first trimester!!!????? Please reply me
You can do these stretches in the first trimester if they're comfortable!
Just did these and I feel the relief 🥲
So glad this was very helpful!
How many weeks pregnant is she in this video? Just curious because I’m 29 weeks almost 30 and I’m about this size
In my third trimester!
Nearly 30 weeks pregnant and its just happened a few days ago. I have an 11 month old baby also so im struggling to hold him with this pain.
So glad this was helpful! Hang in there mama!
I'm 31 weeks gone not sure i can do this cos the pain feels like my bone is fractured and can't even walk properly as I'm trying this 😭😭
Yes this is something to try! Here is another option -- www.nourishmovelove.com/pelvic-pain-during-pregnancy/
Only 9 week pregnancy full pain on my back...😕😕 sciatica
Oh no sorry to hear that -- hang in there mama! I hope these exercises help!
Omg I'm dying. It's piriformis not pirfirmorris
Haha!
Very. Cute
Thanks!
These stretches are great but I can’t get over the wrong pronunciation of piriformis…
So sorry about that ... I am glad these stretches have been helpful!
Same! I’m glad to see someone else mentioned it.
