back issues?

Has anyone been having back issues yet?  Unfortunately I went into this pregnancy with three herniated discs, so I knew my back was going to be bad, but dang...this is starting to get annoying! I actually went out and bought a belly/back brace. I guess I thought this was going to come later in the pregnancy, but I am only 6 months.  I have only gained 13 pounds, but unfortunately it's ALL belly!  Does anyone have any tips for relief?

I also came into this pregnancy with back issues and yes in my 6 month I have definitely noticed the pregnancy taking a toll on my already sore back. I am also just all belly and my doctor even tells me I can gain more weight.

You might want to look into a maternity body pillow and maybe prenatal yoga or pilates to help stretch your back, but take precaution when doing so.
