Third trimester chal raha hai and my whole body is aching, kamar and legs especially by evening. Hard to even sleep properly. What do you all do for some relief, anything that actually helped?
Yaar, the body pain is so real during the second trimester, actually. I used to put a pregnancy pillow between my legs while sleeping and it helped a lot. Also, ask your husband for a gentle leg massage, it works wonders!
I look back at those aching back days and laugh now because now I'm chasing a toddler all day! Rest as much as you can right now. A hot water bottle (not too hot!) on your lower back really helps to soothe the muscles.
Honestly, a nice warm bath and then treating myself to some warm halwa helps me forget all my body aches! Just make sure the water isn't too hot, and enjoy a light snack to distract yourself from the back pain.
No need for expensive treatments, just do some simple stretches daily. Using a normal pillow under your stomach or between your knees while sleeping is a great, free hack. Also, make sure you aren't standing for too long in the kitchen.
A gentle massage with lukewarm mustard oil or coconut oil can give great relief. But remember, if the pain is very severe or accompanied by cramps or bleeding, don't ignore it and call your gynac immediately.
