My back and hips hurt when I sit on bed for long, especially while eating or scrolling phone. I am 30 weeks now and finding every position uncomfortable. How do you sit or support yourself?
Slow movements beta, thats the main thing. Sit by rolling onto your side first and rising with support. No sudden getting up, especially later months when the belly is heavy. Take it easy and use cushions.
Side pe ho ke dhire se uthna, seedha jhatke se mat utho na. Mere saath bhi back kheechti thi jab main jaldi uthti thi. Ek pillow peeche rakho, aaram milta hai, haan na.
Best way, turn to your side and use your hand to push yourself up slowly, dont jerk up directly. To lie down do the reverse. And keep a pillow behind your back when sitting up, it saved my lower back both times.
I learnt this the hard way after my c section but its useful in pregnancy too. Dont sit up straight from lying flat, instead roll to your side first then push up with your arm. It protects your tummy and back so much, felt gentler on me.
