Back pain recommendations?

JazibelJazibel member
in LGBT Parenting
I went into Urgent care this morning because my back pain has only gotten worse, and I'm in tears every time I move slightly wrong. I have trouble sitting, laying down and bending - who knew that these are positions I use 90% if the time!! The doctor said it's probably a nerve and/or muscle spasms but wants me to get checked for pre-term labor. Of course now I'm freaking out feeling every tiny round ligament pain or cramp. I go into see the OB at 1:30 to get checked.

I've felt Owen kicking around this morning so that at least is a relief.

Anyone had back pain during pregnancy? Any recommendations on what to do. I think of myself as pretty tough but I'd give this an 8-9 on the pain scale. :-(

    I am thinking of you also, and hoping it is nothing more than a pulled muscle or something that will pass soon. Please let us know when you have a chance after you have seen the OB. Sending you positive thoughts!

    My back pain wasn't near that intense, but a chiropractic adjustment late in pregnancy did wonders for me. Wish I had done it sooner. I really hope you get some relief soon. I'm hoping for the best for you. Let us know n

    I think everything is ok with baby atleast. His heart rate was low 131 (usually it's 147ish) the OB told me the range was 120-160 and she didn't seem worried. I didn't get a lot of feedback regarding the back pain except Tylenol, hot & cold treatments. I asked about chiropractic and accupunture and got the ok to proceed.

    Thanks for the well wishes !! :-).

    @herbabymama & @atxmommas - I booked acupuncture for tomorrow afternoon and I'm researching a chiropractor - thanks for the feedback :-)

    I'm not pregnant, but do have a lot of back pain experience because I have a history of a herniated disc. Hands down the best thing I could have ever done was to seek out a qualified acupuncturist and chiropractor. Usually I am out of commission for at least two weeks, but the last time this happened, I was nearly 100% better within three visits. 

    Wishing you the best of luck and fast healing because I know how painful it is! Take care!!

    TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.
