Sciatica is most common during the third trimester of pregnancy, according to the website WhatToExpect.com. 

The painful condition occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed – usually by the expanding uterus, the fetus’ head resting directly on the nerve, a shift in gravity by the growing baby bump, weight gain and fluid retention or a herniated or slipped disc. 

This can result in sharp, shooting pain, tingling or numbness that starts in the back or buttocks and radiates all the way down the backs of the legs.

On the video, Heather Rae, wrote ‘Baby Update. Bed rest for now’ over the video, in which she looked very casual in a green sweatshirt with ‘BABE’ written in red letters. She appeared makeup free behind her large, dark sunglasses, and wore her hair in a loose side braid. 

The former model said she’s going to continue physical therapy and try acupuncture, but for now, the doctor ‘wants me resting, laying down, which is hard for me as you guys know, but obviously the most important thing is feeling better, and taking care of the baby.’

 The Malibu Horror Story actress said she hopes the condition goes away soon, ‘but I definitely can not feel this for the rest of the pregnancy.’
