lower back ache - again!..

[tinytoes]

i had back ache one day last week. i thought it ^was down to sleeping on my back but the doc said that shouldnt be it yet.

Anyway, it only lasted a day then went away. And then on friday night it was back - I was awake at 4am in terrible pain - every position was uncomfy and seemed to make my lower back ache so much!! It's like it's really weak at the bottom. After an hour or so I finally dozed off and when i woke a few hours later it was better but still there. A day later it's still feeling a little weak but much better than friday night!!!

Could this be a sign of things to come? Could it be caused by the 55. kilos I've already gained? I'm now 18 weeks pregnant, 5foot 6 and 68 kilos....if this is a sign of things to come then I'm scared!!!

I am sleeping on my side 90% of the night i think. And I try and put a pillo between my legs to stop me twisting the spine.

I hope this gets better!


Could it just have been baby or some innerd or other squashing ona nerve?!
I'm baffled.

Don't really have any advice for you. Hopefully some of the other girls will see this and be able to give you more help. Hope you feel better soon

i also suffer from the back pain, all the tips i have ive learned from trial and error
dont sit in the same position for too long, esp leaning forward that makes the pain worse. like sometimes i would lean forward to type.
in bed sleep on your left side, the best position ive found it to put a pillow length ways and put one under neath it width way ie make a T out of two pillows. then sleep with your head at the top of the T and the T's leg a little under your side to elevate you. its almost like hugging your pillow.

I get wicked lower backaches too. It's awful. Mine are mostly if I've been standing/walking for too long though. Feel Better!

thanks ladies - yes i get mine after standing for too long too pitbull. And the weird thing cupcake is that for me leaning forward seems to relieve it.....gosh, it's a mystery at times this pregnancy lark isnt it! Thanks for your replies all...

I'm going to try out the t-pillo thing tonight. so far i've just had one between my knees but I'm happy to try anything!

I get the same pain from standing/walking too long. My chiropractor said it's because the weight of your belly is pulling your spine and hips out of alignment. I've been going to a chiropractor and it has helped tremendously! I just wish I could get adjusted every day.
