[@KSundar912]

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!

[@nourishmovelove]

I am so glad this was helpful for you!

[@TheBoneVampire]

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 😂

[@nourishmovelove]

SO glad this is helpful! Thanks for feedback!

[@mamabear3114]

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 🙏 😊

[@nourishmovelove]

I am so happy to hear this has been helpful for you!!

[@collectiveharmonymusic]

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 ❤❤

[@nourishmovelove]

Oh no so sorry to hear that! I am glad you found your way to this workout! You are awesome!

[@lassandrasmith8655]

Thanks!

[@nourishmovelove]

Thank you so much for your support! Hang in there!

[@chaniheyman1101]

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!!!

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this is helpful to you! Thank you for choosing to sweat with us!

[@Georgie0829]

You are a life saver. 30 weeks pregnant and waiting for my next chiro appointment for relief. These helped so much in the meantime!

[@nourishmovelove]

So happy to hear this workout has helped you! Keep up the great work!!

[@alliepopoff325]

So good. Makes me feel almost normal to be able to still work out like this while pregnant! I love it

[@nourishmovelove]

Glad this is helpful! Keep up the great work!

[@JRL03]

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~

[@nourishmovelove]

I hope this is helpful for you!

[@EmilyDawn6]

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! ❤ ❤❤

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this was helpful! Hang in there mama!

[@cheyyygaming2249]

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.

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this workout is helpful! Hang in there mama!

[@jazzyjoification]

12 weeks & the sciatica pain is coming on strong. Thank you for making this video 💖

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this workout is helpful for you! Keep up the awesome work mama!

[@amy20390]

awake till 4 am writhing in pain. Found your videoo online and omg its instantaneous relief. Thabk you ❤

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this is helpful! hang in there!

[@elaineDS2023]

Thank you so much for this. I’m just 11 weeks but have suffered from this pain for the last 3 weeks. I’ve foam rolled and did my own stretches but none of that helped. I have instant relief from following this. The last hip dip as well as the lacrosse ball really did the trick. The pain isn’t all gone but I have more mobility immediately - I think after a few more sessions it might just disappear!

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this is so helpful!! Hang in there!!

[@angelatera5865]

Omg this video saved me, thank you so much! 37 weeks and have been in excrutiating pain. This brought so much relief. Thank you!!

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this was helpful! Hang in there!

[@serena19196]

I'm at 32 weeks and in pain. This 10 min stretch brought me some immediate relief. Thanks so much! I learnt a lot!

[@nourishmovelove]

I am glad this stretch routine was helpful for you!

[@ashtontaylor910]

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.

[@nourishmovelove]

Hang in there mama!!

[@nishyanthasritha4658]

OMG thank you soooo much this gave me instant relief 🙏😭😭

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad this is helpful! Hang in there mama!

[@nattywho]

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!

[@nourishmovelove]

I'm so happy you found your way here and found these stretches helpful!

[@nattywho]

@@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!

[@acuriouswriter]

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 😂

[@nourishmovelove]

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!!

[@nourishmovelove]

This should help! Hang in there mama!

[@Hafsazulff]

I'm 35 week pregnant..can you suggest me something to induce labor or water break exercise please

[@nourishmovelove]

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!
