Guys ?
I either overdid it these last few days or did something awful to my back. I've never had back pain in pregnancy so I'm hoping it's short-lived, it started the night before last, but last night it was so bad, I couldn't sleep and just cried. My husband got me the heating pad and propped me up, but it literally hurts to move.
I would definitely head in for some chiro care. With all the relaxin we get during pregnancy it can be easy to pull things out of alignment.
You should always start with ice, for 24 hours to bring down inflammation, and then alternating hot & cold.
I also use diluted lavender EO when my neck acts up. It's a natural antispasmodic.
I threw my back out while pregnant, it's the worst. Alternate heat and ice, the ice will help the swelling go down and is actually better for it than heat. Definitely go to the chiropractor, you probably have a pinched nerve and they can get everything back where it belongs. Back pain is the worst, hope you feel better!
I had this in the same spot with my last 2 pregnancies. It went away after I had my oldest son but I still have it after having my little one a year and a half later. It's so painful and torturous. If it doesn't go away go see a chiropractor like the others suggested. I hope you find some relief!
