I've text my boss -she's a midwife & has 4 kids of her own so I figure who better to ask! Hopefully she'll come back with a secret miracle cure! @amy101 @katrainbird @lauramorg @sara-lou @warrior @
I've got a tubi grip for my bump, but I haven't tried it as just at home so not doing much now @amy101 but thanks.
I've had an awful back throughout my whole pregnancy. Was in hospital two weeks ago in crippling pain. Try a warm bath, tiger balm works wonders. If it gets worse and you can't walk I would suggest a trip to gp. Who can prescribe some painkillers. I also have a bump band, when your bump gets bigger it can pull on your back, resulting in an even worse back pain. This helps just to give to bump some support. X
Hope it helps you. I had t bad first time thankfully it's not been as bad this time. If it carries on speak to your midwife. Maybe one of those support belts would help...
I'm trying the heat wheat now @sara-lou fingers crossed that helps!
I thought she was just on a nerve as she's down really low -I can feel her in the top of my foof but she's moved a bit now as the pressure isn't so bad. I've got a tummy ache too now @katrainbird
I never tried ice @emmaelaine but I use one of those lavender wheat bags you warm up in the microwave after having a relaxing soak in a radox bath. You could use a hot water bottle as well I guess 😊
when did it start? I remember having a really bad lower backache when I was in labour? maybe the baby is leaning on a nerve? have you tried rolling around getting him/her to chance position? xx
22 weeks @katrainbird I've been in tears all eve with it! Xx
The ice hasn't touched it. My back is so sore, it feels on fire!
I used to sit with a bag of ice for 20 mins then nothing for 10 then hot water bottle fOR 20 mins .. Worked absolute wonders for me xx
@Lauramorg, ive done the bath @katrainbird I'll try the ice now. So blooming uncomfortable 😭
bag of ice on the back, once your back goes freezing cold you can't feel a thing lol it's horrible but it works better than anything else I tried x
How rude..
