lower back pain

[abbiesmummy]

Hi,

just after some advice, I have had lower back ache today. all achey bit like with a period but not bad. its not enough to take any pain killers and just wondering if its perhaps to do with my uterus moving upward. has anyone else felt this?

thanks

I think back pain is normal at any stage, as the shape of your spine changes and then has the additoinal wieght to carry. I bought a birthing ball at the weekend, and that helps, as does swimming or just a nice warm bath.

thanks for that, just good to have some reasurance. i used to do alot of exercise and its slowed down a bit because i've felt so tired, so my body could be responding to that as well. (need to do more!)
thanks!

i'm having really bad lower back pain. Sometimes feels like 2 bones rubbing together. Could't get comfortable in bed last night either. I'm putting it down to the fact my tummy is getting quite big and this must be having an impact on my back. Going to spoil myself with a long warm bath tonight.
It'll all be worth it when the baba gets here

I know what you mean - I went from 8 sessions a week to nothing I was so tired. I felt like such a lazy cow but finally convinced myself to listen to my body and not feel guilty. It probably didn't do any harm to have a break anyway, and didn't put on any wieght - despite eating more! My energy has only just started to come back so am trying to do a bit more but not going to push myself. Planning lots of walks with LO in July to make up!

I walk around town and goto other towns and walk around tehre going in shops etc, thats my excercise and hope its enough if not i might invest in one of those balls

I think its just your body expanding inside getting ready for your LO to expand and get bigger.

thanks Andreag, that makes me feel so much better! you must be pleased to not have gained much weight, I usually run and after 2 weeks gained 4lb.

just a thought, I have just bought Davina's new DVD is fab, its for pregnancy and after and has a great interview on the end about pregnancy, labour and babies.

thanks!

I had aches and pains around this time with Eva hun. Your body is just getting itself all ready for everything.



by the way i think i told you but aqua natal is great! there is one on right near me. maybe we could go on a friday and i can watch the babies and come in after your session is finished with them or something. or they can play at mine when you go. you should!! it's fab and abbie and eva would love having a play or swim. if you wanna go next fri let me know think it's about 9am though!! x
