My kamar is killing me these days, im in 2nd trimester and sitting at work makes it worse. What all helped you to manage the back pain? Open to any tips.
Haha, avoiding backache in the 3rd trimester is a myth! But seriously, sleeping on my side with a pillow between my knees is the only thing keeping me sane right now. Give it a try!
First, stop bending forward to lift heavy things; squat down if you must. Sit with your back fully supported with a small cushion. Don't just suffer, make these small lifestyle changes.
Try to do some gentle cat-cow stretches if your doctor allows. Also, make sure you are taking your calcium supplements regularly as prescribed. Take hot water showers, it really relaxes the back muscles.
Good posture and a support pillow will be your best friends! 🌸 Also, try a gentle warm compress on your lower back. Sit comfortably and don't exert yourself too much!
Oh, backaches are terrible on top of nausea. I found wearing flat, supportive footwear instead of regular slippers helped a lot. Also, try not to sit in one position for more than 30 minutes.
Actually, standing for too long in the kitchen was my biggest mistake, yaar. I started using a high stool to chop veggies and it relieved my lower back pain so much. Try to avoid standing continuously.
Maintaining good posture is key, but also consult your doctor before starting any prenatal exercises or using heat packs. Investing in a good pregnancy pillow can make a huge difference.
