Bad Back Pain @ 17 Weeks, help please!

[Lucy_girl]

Hi all,

I just started getting really bad back pain this week, it hurts so much. I have tried doing some stretching exercises for my back, but that doesn't seem to be helping. I didn't think I would get back pain this early in my pregnancy.

If you are suffering from back pain, what are you doing to cope with it??

Thanks for your help!

Not much you can do to be honest. Hot water bottles/heat pads, trying not to slouch, could book yourself in for a pregnancy friendly massage?x

Thanks, I think that's what I am going to do now .

I'm having back pain too. So I'm starting to walk for 45mins and taking hot baths

My lower back has been killing me (14 weeks +).

It especially hurts when I am... How do I say this nicely... On the loo taking a two.

I've been cleaning house and doing manual labor over the past couple days. I was wondering if that was to blame. Maybe it pulled something.

I took Tylenol because it hurt so bad. Otherwise, I suppose stretching and exercise might help.
