My BH have gotten a lot stronger and with that my back has gotten super tight and honestly very painful. The back pain isn't in waves but constant. The BH are come and go. I'm not thinking labor at this point.
I was just curious what you all are doing to ease the pain. I have gone back to my bed because its the only way I can handle the pain without tears. Any suggestions to help relieve backache?
I did take a hot shower and let in run on my back which usually helps but did nothing.
Only thing I do is go to bed as well. Lying on my side with several pillows propping my legs helps. Sitting down is a killer after a while. I tried having a bath but lying down helped much more.
Nothing seems to work anymore. I resort to tylenol when desperate and that definitely helps. Also, I'll try to stretch it out, doing the cat/cow pose and child's pose.
I get some relief, but the pain is pretty much constant now so I commiserate with you.
Pile of pillows and laying down over them with my knees forward. Kind of like doing child's pose onto the pillows. Helps counter the preasure in belly and relieves aches in back...
Lots of massage, my husband's hands are sore from all the pressure he has to use. I have taken a hot bath and put a hot facecloth in a ball behind my back so it would put pressure on my back, hot showers, lying down in bed or sometimes on the floor (hard to get up though).
I find there are many times nothing helps.
EDIT I have so many pillows on the bed sometimes my husband can't fit and they aren't much help anymore.
