Wanted: Back pain remedies

annamie

Hello ladies! 

This is my third pregnancy and I am down to just a week and a half left.  I have been having HORRIBLE lower back pains today (and off and on the past week).  I'm at work now and am looking for any immediate advice you may have to offer.  I did not experience this with my other pregnancies so I am lost. 

Any thoughts?

TIA

I am having the same thing on and off....I am thinking its practice back labor.

Ice helped me, and if you can get in to see a chiropractor- mine works wonders!

I found bouncing on my exercise ball to give almost instant relief. Using a heated wheat bag also helps pretty quickly. I hope yo get some relief soon!

I dont know if you are supposed to do this...but I put icy hot on and it made me feel  a ton better.

Chances are good it's from your body readjusting and pelvis tilting forward in getting ready for LO's arrival...  Do some yoga-type stretching, lay down and half-circle your knees from one side of your body to the other.  A chiro is good too as an option...

I would suggest a nice prenatal massage It will help your back pain and wake up your body to prepare for labor!

I was told this could be b/c baby's head is resting on the wrong place. (my lo has been head down the whole time so I've experienced lots of this) I did some cat and cow yoga and then had DH put some counterpressure on my tailbone and sure enough the pain went away.
