lots of back pain, and other issues : (

[Overthemoon]

Anyone else having any of these issues and what has given you relief?

1. Lots of back pain on upper right side of back, which goes around to ribs (which are sore to the touch). Ribs on both sides sore.
Back pain is always there, brings me to tears.
I try baths, showers, heat, ice, homeopathics, tylenol, massage, birth ball, stretching etc...

2. after intimacy with dh, the other day I was so red, itchy and uncomfortable. Could it be related to my cervix effacing already? MW said that was happening at check up that day.
I was hoping we'd help move things along by being intimate but no luck. With the discomfort I felt after, I told dh no more till after I heal from birth.

3. odd contractions (not sure if they are BH) but they are a full belly tightening and last for various lengths of time.

4. odd pinching/burning feeling in the pubic area (almost feels like baby's head is sitting right there)

Thanks girls for making it through my list of complaints.

I was going to suggest total immersion/bath for the back thing. Have you been to a chiro to see how your alignment is? My back killed me on my birth ball until I got adjusted.

Not sure about the cervix after DTD.

The pinching on the cervix I totally think is changes happening and babes heading and such pushing against it. I always tell myself it's a good thing and try to convince myself of that!

I agree about the pinching being progress.

No help on the back pain, I'm sorry you've been plagued by it.

Ctx sound like BH to me based on what I have had.

Thanks girls!
Here's hoping for progress! I'll take that for sure. Just want to deliver already.
