How much lower back ache do you experience? I'm 21 weeks and it's uncomfortable.

I'm only 21 weeks. I feel it most from laying down a lot, which I am trying to do because my midwife told me to rest more.

But my lower back just ACHES so much and I feel it's because I'm laying down on the time or something...

Do you experience this too? How much back ache is normal for the stage I'm at? Any tips to make it better? I was thinking of going swimming or something to help, or maybe some light yoga. Do the big pregnancy pillows help?

I feel the same way and I'm only 18 weeks!! I too find it from lying down too much or in the same spot. I find walking helps me. I think it may be partly from needing more exercise. Yoga has always helped me a lot. I tried swimming...didn't help me much personally but maybe it'd work for you.
