It seriously feels like this baby is pushing through the front of my pelvis. For cramps, I normally take a bath, but sitting is making things a little worse and stretching is a no go right now.
Aside from chiro/accupuncture, how are you ladies trying to find relief for pelvic pain and pressure?
They have more stretches on there for pelvic pain. I also put my knees on a chair, hands on the floor and switch from elbows to hands (one elbow at a time). That one helps A LOT. Make sure you have someone there to spot you though.
I didn't even think to look at spinning babies. I am going to try those pelvic tilts but there is so much pain I am a little uncertain how I am going to maneuver myself off of the bed.
Prenatal yoga. I have been doing it for a while now and it does help. I was feeling pelvic pressure the past couple days, went to class last night and it helped a lot.
Hands and knees, butt in the air, doing those pelvic rocks. Seriously, hands and knees is the most comfortable position for me right now. I'd rather be on all fours than sitting on the couch. Sadly, I have zero upper body strength and my arms wimp out way too soon.
I could fall asleep on all fours! (on my forearms) Actually, I think DH said I did fall asleep like that one night...

So, here's to more pelvic tilts.....
Prenatal yoga. I have been doing it for a while now and it does help. I was feeling pelvic pressure the past couple days, went to class last night and it helped a lot.
I should also grab my exercise ball out from downstairs. I think sitting on that may help some, too.
Thanks for all of your replies.
