Back Pain

[Alexandra_1992]

How do you mommies and soon to be mommies deal with your back pain?

I'm 37+4 and my back feels like it's breaking, I've been into hospital because the pain spreads down into my pelvis and makes walking near impossible at times. They were meant to refer me to physio...that was over 3 weeks ago but I've heard nothing since.

I got a "noodle" from finishing my parenting classes it's like a pool noodle cut small enough to fit perfectly over your back and what they have you do it lean up against a chair or your bed feet shoulder length apart and your kinda bending over a little and your partner rolls the noodle up and down your back. It's helped me so much

I will have to try a heat pack, thanks :)
I have a 12ft body pillow, it does helps a lot. I had back problems pre pregnancy too, was in the process of loosing weight for a breast reduction.
Not long left for me, fingers crossed the heat pack helps

I have a body pillow and last night while sleeping i used half in between my legs and left most of it against my back to support it and boy did it help, my back feels a lot less achey. I am 26 wks but i also had pre existing back pains and a bigger chest so i feel your pain :( also hot patches seem.to.help or those heat packs.
