Carrying In The Back?

Angelmommy3612

Hello Ladies,

I am having really bad lower back pain and its getting worse everyday.

I am not showing nearly as much as others at 27-28 weeks so i wondered if this was possible?

I have a history of back pain but its just terrible by the time i am done work on a friday.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

I too am having terrible back pain.  I have a previous back injury from 2001....2 bulging disks in the lower back from a bad fall that I took.  I went through PT back then to get me back in order and have not had too much of a problem since.  Now that we are expecting our first child, my back pain has returned.  My OB has referred me to PT again and I have had one session thus far, but don't know if it will do any good.  He's having me do hydro therapy in the pool too, but I'm not getting my hopes up.  I see my OB again tomorrow and am not sure if I will be able to continue working due to my job duties and the fact I am since I am in excrutiating pain throughout the day.  I have also been seeing a chiropractor who specializes in treating pregnant women....which has helped some, but it has only been very temporary help.  I wish I had more good news to share....but I am in the same boat and truly feel your pain!

I am so sorry you are having to go through this too.

I am a nurse in charge of over 65 residents who require light care, but i have to push a heavy awkward medication cart around.

I just got word that my boss is letting me take 1 day off per week to use my remaining vacation time before i take my mat leave.

I am hoping to get some relief with this, but we will see.

Best of luck sweetie!! congrats on baby #1!! its our first as well.

Hopefully taking a day off will give you some relief!  My problems actually started with sciatic pain...my entire left leg goes numb if I am standing/walking for more than 10 minutes.  I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us that we are able to get some relief and keep working.  Congrats on your first baby as well!  Best wishes!

Thanks! and yes this is exactly what i am going through right now, my leg is numb and i feel almost a pinching in my left bum cheek sounds as painful as it is.

I feel you!! The back pain I am experiencing is HORRIBLE! I did not feel this with DD#1. I can't sleep for more than an hour at a time (this back pain mixed with bathroom breaks is killing me!), when I do fall asleep - it's only because I've cried myself to sleep and am just beat at that point, then an hour later I wake up from crying because of my back. 

FI feels horrible and doesn't know what to do. I have tried everything.
