I've had it since before I was pregnant but now its so much worse. I refused medication, and my Dr said warm bath or heating pad just not for long periods of time. Try back excersises or get a massage.

I am too!  27 weeks.  I was doing stretches that i you tubed and they were really helpful but the pain would come back after a few days.  I was ok with that since the stretches actually worked but now i am finding the stretches only releive the pain for maybe an hour.  I am considering a chiropractor too.

When I get it I lie on the floor with my feet on a chair it gives some relief. Hope it gets better soon x
