Third trimester here and my back hurts almost every evening, specially after standing in the kitchen. My MIL says its normal for every pregnant woman but i just want to hear from others. Is this just part of it?
Gentle prenatal yoga and short walks really eased my backache, but only after my doctor approved them. Strengthening the back and core gently makes a big difference. Dont do anything strenuous though, and check with your gynac first.
Yes very normal, especially as the bump grows and shifts your posture. I had it both times, worst in the last trimester. A maternity pillow, good posture and gentle stretches helped me most.
Mild backache is normal, but mine once came with cramps and that needed checking. So if the pain is severe, comes in waves, or with bleeding or leaking, please call your gynac. Dont brush off the sharp kind.
