Cramps🙄

I’ll be 5 months tomorrow and my pregnancy cramps and lower back pains are back. How are you ladies dealing with it if you’re experiencing or have experienced the same thing??

Ugh sorry you’re dealing with that. I try to drink extra water and stop what I’m doing and sit down to rest and breathe (if I can). Sometimes helps with cramps. I try to take it easier than usual when I’m having bouts of cramps or back pain. Tylenol as needed. For all over back pain I have done some stretching, massage (check your insurance it may be covered at some chiropractic offices), foam rolling, and heat pads. The heating pads REALLY helped with my first pregnancy when I had constant rib pain on my back due to baby’s position. I just had a cheap rice bag with Velcro I heated in the microwave then strapped around myself. Also if it’s trigger points in your back there’s an awesome hooklike self massage tool. You should be able to find “massage hook” on Amazon. This time around I bought a pregnancy pillow- not sure I’d recommend it yet. Good luck!

thank you. I know I need to beef up on drinking more water.
