My back pain is getting worse every day now that I'm pregnant, especially in the evenings. It's really making it hard to sleep. Can anyone suggest ways to reduce back pain during pregnancy?
Honestly, sitting in one place while satisfying my non-stop snack cravings used to give me terrible backache! I realized that doing a short 5-minute walk after eating my favorite treats and sitting on a well-cushioned chair helped reduce the stiffness a lot.
Honey, at 34 weeks, my back is permanently screaming at me, so I feel your pain! Simple tricks like gentle pelvic tilts, using a maternity belt, and forcing my husband to do daily massage duty are keeping me alive. Hang in there, we are almost at the finish line!
Mere bachhe, back pain se pareshan mat ho, yeh pregnancy mein bohot normal hai. Sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees will give you amazing relief, and try to sit with your back fully supported. Just take proper rest and don't lift anything heavy, okay?
For mild back pain, a warm water bottle or a gentle mustard oil massage ghar pe works wonders. However, if the back pain is severe, constant, or accompanied by any cramping or spotting, please do not ignore it and contact your gynac immediately.
Back pain usually happens as your posture shifts and progesterone relaxes your ligaments. Try to maintain a straight posture, avoid standing for long periods, and use a cold or warm compress. If you feel any sharp, radiating pain down your legs, please get evaluated by your doctor to check for sciatica.
