ideas how to releave pain?

[roxane 1985]

obviously besides having the baby i wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to ease this pain, my lower back and pelvis constantly feels like its going to snap in 2 pieces,while the lower of my belly hurts and aches lot as does the restof my belly now.

i know its cus he is low down and his head is tucked into my pelvis but im just got getting any relief or rest.

ive tried sitting properly, lying down, prop feet up, lying on side (with and with out support from pillows and cushions),sitting up in bed with and without pillows nothing helps, sometimes when i walk it even causes pain down my legs.

ive had a couple of spells where ive not been able to move off my back as ive been in that much pain and it took 2 ppl almost half an hr to move me.

a warm bath only helps while im in the water

Does moving about more help? Maybe your getting seized up? Maybe some stretching everyday could help?

Have you tried a heat pack on your lower back when you sit or lay down? My physio suggested taking paracetamol for 24hrs (at the correct intervals) and not just when the pain is there. It supposedly helps with swelling and pain more then if you just take it once for the pain. But dont keep it up for more then 24hrs and don't go over the max dosage. I would check with your midwife or doctor before trying it, in case it's not suitable for you.

Hope that makes sense.

I feel your pain. I alos have a constant back ache. Doesn't matter where I am sat, lying, standing I just cannot get comfortable & just ache!

I have a support belt for my pelvis as I am suffering from SPD & that helps. Also my neighbour who has just given birth has kindly lent me a pregnancy support pillow (a triangular shaped bean filled thing lol) ans I sleep with that in between my legs & cuddle it & it supports my bump (as I can't sleep on my back) the first night I slept with that. I slept like a baby! Hehe

Hope you feel better soon. I try to get a little active when I am a little sore, takes my mind off it aswell as being mobile I think helps! GL xx
