Terrible lower back pain

I'm 15 weeks with twins. I've been having terrible lower back pain and am looking for relief. My back feels very tight and I struggle the most transitioning from standing to sitting-lying down or vice versa. Does anyone have any suggestions? This could be one long pregnancy otherwise.

Re: Terrible lower back pain

  • I wish I had some suggestions. Today I started with the lower back pain on my left side. Im 14 weeks. Hope you feel better soon.

  • Try some cat/ cow stretches. Also laying on your back and pulling one knee to your chest at a time to stretch those muscles. Google stretches for that area and see if anything there helps. You could also try a heating pad or ice.

  • Get a belly wrap. I used one w DS towards the end. At some points it was unbearable.

  • I know it is hard to tell if it is pain from carrying extra weight or internal pain. I would try the heating pad, support band if it is from weight it will only get worse.
    Please also have your doctor check you for uti or bladder infection, these are dangerous if left untreated and give you lower back pain.
