3rd trimester and my kamar is killing me, especially by evening i can barely sit comfortably. What gives you all some relief? pillows, stretches, anything that worked pls share.
Lower back pain is very common as your belly grows and shifts your center of gravity. Try using a maternity pillow while sleeping on your side, and put a small cushion behind your back when sitting. Don't stand for too long, dear.
Honestly, at 34 weeks, my back feels like it belongs to a 90-year-old! A warm water bag and sleeping with ten different pillows are the only things keeping me alive right now. Just hang in there, we are almost at the finish line.
Invest in a high-quality pregnancy support belt, it’s a total game changer. Also, look up pelvic tilt exercises on YouTube, they work wonders for relieving lumbar pressure. Just don't lift anything heavy at all.
My back pain disappeared the second the baby came out, only to be replaced by nursing neck pain! A warm mustard oil massage from your husband is the best temporary fix. Just rest as much as you can now.
If you sit at a desk all day, make sure to get up every 45 minutes for a quick stretch. A good ergonomic chair and a footrest helped me manage my backache during office hours. Also, try wearing flat, supportive shoes only.
