upper back problems

[KA]

Hi all, I started having bad back problems since last week (26 weeks pregnant now..) I read a lot about low back/ pelvic problems, but this is more my upper back. I cannot even comfortable sit on the couch anymore!
Has anyone got similar problems, or any experience with a back/ bump support belt or something?

Thanks, love Karien

I tend to get a lot of shoulder/neck/upper back pain anyway and my pregnancy has had no different effect on it... get your bloky to rub it for you, or treat yourself to a maternity massage (not always that expensive depending where you go!). if anyone else has any helpful ideas i'd also be interested in knowing!!! i have a microwaveable bear that I heat up - it has gel in it that keeps the heat, and this is the only thing I've been using on it.

Yeah I think heat is good idea, and posture is extremely important, its hard to maintain all the time but it does help. Also a proper fitting supportive bra is very important too. Hope this helps
