I am 34 weeks pregnant and I am experiencing a lot of back pain and sciatic nerve pain. What can I do? Would an Epsom salt bath help?

At 34 weeks pregnant, it is common for women to experience back pain and sciatic nerve pain. Some ways to help alleviate these pains include getting massages from a professional or your partner, using pregnancy-safe creams for massage, and practicing gentle stretches or exercises recommended by your doctor or a physical therapist. It is best to avoid using Epsom salt baths or anti-inflammatory creams, as they may not be effective or safe during pregnancy. Always consult with your healthcare provider before trying any new pain relief methods.
