I need relief from this back pain...

[sandiegokristi]

oh my goodness does my back ache and it came out of no where. I can not find relief sitting, standing, laying on either side or with pillows. Any suggestions on how you find relief would be great. I have had some minor back discomfort before in pregnancy, but never like this. My poor son has such a dud of a mom when it comes to playing today.

leaning over my birth ball really helps me! it takes off some of the pressure. warm baths, too!

Yes I suggest a bath too. My back was killing me last night so I could barely sleep. Side stretches seem to help, as well as laying over pillows (same as hugging a birth ball). Hope you feel better soon!

You sure it's not an early labor sign?

The only thing that helps me right now is to lay on my left side on the couch, with my back against the back of the couch. I can't even bear to sit upright for more than 30 minutes. The things we have to go through!!!

When my back hurts I grab the end of the kitchen counter and make an L with my body (so my back is parallel to the floor). Then I stretch back through my hips. Think about your hands and your hips going in opposite directions. It feels so good!
