I have found in the last week I have gotten a lot more back pain... as well as today I think maybe the baby landed on a nerve or something becuase when I went to breathe in I got the sharpest pain under my left breast where my ribs were and it took about 20 min to go away.... The joy of pregnancy i guess
Mine has been since about 16 weeks. I mentioned it to my doctor and she said that yoga is a great way to aleviate back pain. I am going to look for a DVD this weekend because it only seems to be getting worse.
My tailbone killed me with my first pregnancy. It felt like I had sat on metal bleachers ALL day. Getting up and down was very painful. My sister experienced the same thing with her pregnancy. I'm hoping it doesn't happen again, but thinking it will. Try sitting on a pillow or change positions frequently. GL.
Absolutely! I can't sit for very long without it hurting. I think it's just the extra weight settling at the lowest point. I end up having to lay down or lay on my side to make it quit.
Yes, and I just posted the same ? yesterday I actually called my doc just to be safe and the nurse said it's normal, part of shifting posture and all the goods down below. She said wear flat shoes, take Tylenol and/or use a heating pad. To top it off, I fell on the very same tailbone this morning in the snow. Needless to say, I'm getting heating pad tonight!
Exactly. It is like I have been sitting on those metal bleachers all day and when you get up it is even worse! Glad to know I am not the only one...even though this is not pleasant!
