My backache has become quite severe, especially in the evenings. It's making it hard to sleep and move around comfortably. What remedies or exercises can help with backache during pregnancy?
Oh, pregnancy backache is so real! 🙈 Try doing light pelvic tilts and use a hot water bag for quick relief. Also, make sure you are wearing super comfy flats! 🌸
Gentle prenatal yoga stretches and a daily 20-minute walk really helped my back, but please do this only if your doctor has allowed physical activity. Good posture while sitting is also key.
Invest in a good pregnancy pillow immediately, it makes a huge difference. Avoid sitting in one position for too long, and use a warm compress on your lower back. Don't take any pain killers without asking your doctor.
Since I was sitting at my desk all day, I used a small cushion behind my lower back for support. Taking short walks every hour and staying hydrated helped a lot. Keep it simple and don't push your body too much.
When I was staying with my parents, my mother used to gently massage my back with warm mustard oil. It was so relaxing! Just rest as much as you can and let your family pamper you.
Along with gentle stretches, make sure you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D, as sometimes deficiencies make backache worse. I had to manage my diet strictly for gestational diabetes, but nutrition plays a big role in joint health too. Discuss this with your gynac.
