Hi girlies, desperately need your help! I am carrying twins and have extreme back pain.. Especially when I'm lying on the bed, I struggle to sit my self up then struggle to move my legs and stand up. I feel like crying when I need a wee because I know how painful it is gonna be to get up! Anyone got advice to help my back pain?😔

Hot compress ! Its the holy grail! I had bad back before pregnancy and with being pregnant it just got worse and i used to take really strong painkillers for it! Only thing that will work for me is hot compresses :) they dont take the pain away completely but they do help. Also people have recommended bump support belts? Im not sure if they work but if its bad give them a try your poor back is under alot of strain atm

Heat definitely helps but I got to a point where I had to be referred to physio. Altho I wasn't offered regular physio I was given a belt to hold my pelvis together and it did help. they also recommended doing exercises but tbh I didn't try them cos they were to be done wen lying flat and the thort of lifting my legs up wen the pain was there made me wanna vomit lol. it's has got loads better now tho over the last 2 weeks. hope urs does too. long soaks in the bath also help but just be careful getting back out of it. Aquanatal classes are also good cos they keep u moving but the water holds ur weight so doesn't feel like u have done too much. I always feel much better for it afterwards xx

Get a birthing ball. I've suffered from back pain & love my ball. It improves posture, strengthens & is often comfier to sit on. Apparently it can reduce your labour time as well but I'm happy it eases my back pain. At least 30 minutes a day, sat doing circular motions with your hips in both directions.
