Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

The sciatic nerve compression is a common finding in pregnancy, due to the weigh gain and change in the body position with the back pushed forward. Basically, the lumbar pain orientates towards a lumbar origin of the sciatica, while the lump you describe is somewhere on the passage of the sciatic nerve leading to a local compression cause.

I would recommend a consult to your primary care doctor to palpate on this lump and of course a diet on loosing weigh because overweight is related to all causes of sciatica.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
