How early in pregnancy can sciatica start?
I am 10 weeks pregnant today and the last couple of days, I have been havig sharp pains in my lower back on the left side. Could it be sciatica? I have had back problems in the past, but not lately.

Sciatica can start at any time. It is not necessarily the pregnancy itself but because you are aware you are pregnant you may be adopting a different posture. You might be standing or sitting differently that could lead to symptoms like sciatica. More likely you have tweeked a nerve in you lumbar region or put a strain on a muscle. Just tkae care of yourself and see if it goes over the next week. If not then go see your DR.
