The spine-health website offers alot of information about lower Back pain, the causes and a list of safe exercises you could do to reduce your symptoms. Alternatively the exercise4weightloss website offers diagrams of lower back exercises.
Yes it is safe to do lower abdominal exercises during pregnancy. Exercises recommended are a mild form such as pilates, videos and demonstrations can be found online or by asking your doctor.
Many times sciatica pain can be relieved by stretching and strengthening the muscles in the lower back. A good website for learning some of these exercises is: http://www.lower-back-pain-answers.com/lower-back-stretches.html
Have a look at myfit.ca they offer some nice exercises along with photos and instructions. You may also try yoga, it is very nice for all your muscles.
If the lower ab exercises are being done properly they should not strain the back. It is important to stretch prior to doing the exercises or the likelihood of straining the back will increase.
I would rather suggest stretching than traditional exercises! A carefully create stretching routine can help you alleviate pain/muscle stiffness while mobilizing the sciatic nerve! Combine some hamstring/lower abs/torso stretches, be careful when applying them (you need to follow specific guidance in order to make stretching harmless) and i am confident you will soon see some great results!

Examples of conditioning exercises are general core stability exercises, lower leg strength and foot speed exercises, and upper body exercises.
There are many exercises that people can do to help with back pain and the problems associated with it. Simple stretching exercises each morning will help reduce pain and exercises to strengthen the legs and abdomen will help take pressure off the back.
If you want something to help heal it, try stretching (fetal position, touching your toes, bending backwards, etc.) If your back is not better after about 5 days, or it hurts too much to do these stretches, visit a doctor or local chiropractor.
There are many books available about exercises. I would recommend having a look in your local library or book shop. I found a book called The complete book of abs on Amazon which you could also purchase.
Cycling, swimming, and walking all have the potential to ease back discomfort. Start with brief sessions and gradually increase. Try swimming, where the water supports your body if your back is suffering. Avoid any body-twisting strokes.
