How to get rid of upper back pain during pregnancy?
I've been experiencing quite a bit of upper back pain lately, and it's making daily activities uncomfortable. What are some safe and effective ways to get rid of or relieve upper back pain during pregnancy?
Doing some gentle shoulder rolls and cat-cow stretches really helped my upper back. But only try these gentle movements if your doctor has allowed physical activity. Walking with a straight posture also helps keep the spine aligned.
Upper back pain is usually due to the shifting center of gravity and breast changes. Wear a supportive, non-wired maternity bra because lack of support can strain your back muscles. If the pain is very sharp or doesn't go away, please mention it to your gynac.
My upper back used to hurt so much when I sat on the couch binging on my favorite pickles and snacks! Honestly, getting a nice pregnancy pillow to support my back while resting made a huge difference. Try keeping your back supported always.
Mere saath bhi upper back pain ka bada problem tha. My grandmother told me to sleep on a firm mattress and avoid using too many high pillows under my head. This simple change helped me a lot, do try it once.
I had severe back strain and realized my sitting posture while resting was the main culprit. Make sure you use a small cushion behind your lower and upper back when sitting. Also, a gentle massage from your partner with warm mustard oil can give instant relief.
Oh, I feel your pain, upper back ache along with morning sickness was a total nightmare for me. Try using a warm compress or a hot water bag on your shoulders for 10 minutes. Also, avoid sitting in one position for too long, take small breaks.
