I'm really struggling with back pain, especially as my pregnancy is progressing. It's getting difficult to do daily chores. Can anyone share some tips on how to control back pain during pregnancy?
Listen, don't lift heavy things at all right now, let your husband or family handle it. Sit with a small cushion behind your lower back for support. Keep your legs elevated when resting, beta. If it becomes severe, immediately inform your doc.
I kept my back pain in check with mild prenatal yoga and daily 20 mins of walking, but only because my gynac allowed it from day one. Please check with your doctor first before starting any stretches, and keep your posture straight.
My doctor told me that the hormone relaxin softens ligaments, causing back pain. She advised keeping a good sitting posture, avoiding heels, and doing light stretches. Do check with your gynac before trying any exercise though.
Oh, is back pain very common starting from early months? I am planning to conceive soon and honestly quite scared of this. Hope you get some relief soon, let me know what worked best for you!
I totally understand sweetie, that heavy lower back ache is so exhausting! Please take enough rest and ask your husband to gently massage with warm oil. This phase is hard but your beautiful baby will make it all worth it.
I felt so helpless with back pain in my 7th month, I could barely stand. What worked for me was using a hot water bag (not too hot) on my back and sleeping sideways. It takes time but hang in there.
Honestly, just get a good ergonomic chair for work and a proper pregnancy pillow. Don't suffer silently, discuss it with your gynac who can suggest safe physical therapy or a maternity belt if needed.
Mere ko bhi abhi 5th month chal raha hai and back pain is terrible. Does lying down straight help or is sideways better? I am trying sideways with pillow but still hurts thoda.
