Severe Back Pains

Hello Mommies! I am 31 weeks and i have been having really chronic pains. It almost feels like i was in a car accident and my entire body completely hurts. It feels like i'm bruised all over. I tried wearing heating pads, but it has not worked. Tylenol doesnt help much either. I've had a pretty rough pregnancy; i've been hospitalized 3 times throughout... If anybody has some advice please let me know. I am not comfortable in ANY position i get myself in. Thank You! 

Re: Severe Back Pains

  • i'm so sorry your in such pain - what does your Dr. say? you are allowed to take tylenol but i wouldn't take it too often if it's a chronic pain so you don't hurt yourself more.   what about a hot/warm bath?

    i wonder if it's baby pinching nerves or muscles or ligaments stretching out...what about yoga to help strech?

    hope you feel good soon or else the last few weeks go fast!!

  • With my last pregnancy I developed bad back pains right around 32weeks.  I mentioned/complained about it to my doctor and they gave me a Rx for tylenol with codeine.  I didn't feel comfortable taking it despite the fact that it's "safe."  They also suggested I visit with a chiropractor.  In general I'm not a believer in adjustments etc..However, they worked some miracles on me!  I had never been to a chiropractor before, it was just a 15 min. visit and I felt a million times better the next day.  I ended up going 1x a week for the last month of my pregnancy and REALLY regretted not going earlier.  Good luck to you!
