My back pain has become quite severe, especially in the evenings, and I'm finding it hard to sleep. Can anyone share tips or things that helped them get some relief during pregnancy?
Back pain is mostly due to shifting center of gravity and hormones relaxing your ligaments. Make sure u wear flat, supportive footwear and never bend forward from waist to pick things up.
I completely understand how frustrating that constant ache can feel, and it's totally valid to feel exhausted. Try some gentle stretching or ask husband for a soft massage to help ease tension.
I felt so helpless when my back pain started in second trimester, I literally wanted to cry every night. Using warm compress and sleeping on side with a pillow between my knees really saved me.
You should definitely ask doctor for referral to a prenatal physiotherapist, my hospital had a great one. Don't try heavy massages or pain patches without asking your medical team first.
Try a warm water bath and some light walking, works like magic! 🌟 Also, a maternity support band can help lift belly and relieve that pressure on your lower back. 💕
Invest in a good pregnancy pillow and improve your posture, it makes huge difference. Don't sit in one position for too long at your desk, take short walks every hour.
