Lower Back Ache

[PinkHank]

I am 29 weeks today and have over the last few days really been suffering with a lower back ache. I just can't seem to get comfortable unless I am lying flat on my back. It's worse when I am at work because I am up and down all day, and our chairs are pretty naff to say the least (School like chairs - as I work in education).
I guess its something I'm just going to have to put up with, but I'm just wondering how all of you ladies cope and if you have any tips? As I am reluctant to take any kind of pain killers.

Thanks in advance! x

A massage sounds like heaven! Lol... A heated electric pad, is that something you wear? I will have to have a look!

I can't take Cocodamol either, I had it after I had a foot operation and it made me sick... lol.

Hope you soon feel better too! X

I've started to experience the same over the last couple of days, it's a killer Oh the joys...! I would say a warm bath too and lying down when possible! X

Thanks hun! I know it feels nice lying on ur back but the consultant told me not to do it as it encourages the baby to lie back to back which makes the pain even worse, they did a scan & low & behold the little buggar is spine to spine with me ive been told to try bouncing on a birthing ball too am ordering one tmo on payday! x

Oh & the heated pad is like a mini electric blanket x

I too feel your pain and agree with the girls... Hot bath and rest... Seems about the only things that help when I get it xx
