Back pain

I don't remember having this problem with Noah so I am wondering if any of you are experiencing it and how you deal with it. I wake up in the middle of the night with horrible back pain, by 5 am it is almost unbearable and I toss and turn until Noah wakes up. I really don't want to take tylenol everyday especially since I am taking my headache meds and my heartburn meds almost everyday. I try propping pillows up behind me but I get toss and turn all night since I am so uncomfortable. I don't remember having such a hard time sleeping until I was 8 months along with Noah and that just because how big I was, not back pain, I can't imagine it getting any worse.
One thing that is weird is that I don't really have back pain during the day, only night time.

Oh gosh back pain is horrible, lately I can't stand it. I do have a spine problem named where my lower vertebraes are kind out of place, and before pregnancy I use to have to lay down on the floor and take meds for this type of pain, now the pain is getting worse and don't know what to do.
Tomorrw I wil talk to the doc and see what they suggest.

The past two weeks i have had bad back pain! I use a heat pack and yesterday at my ob appointment they referred me to a physio, so i hope that works! Good Luck.

Yup. I have to see a chiropractor 2xs a week. My back is a mess....Nothing I do takes the pain away. Luckily my dh gives the worlds best massages...Almost every night. My ob told me to take ibuprohen if it gets unbearable but I have never with my other kids so I'm unsure if I want to now......My neck and hips and tail bone hurt too....Ahh the joys or pg.....I hope you feel better soon!

Hugs,
AP

I have the same problem.....it's awful, i get it in my hips too....so i just use a heating pad or a hot water bottle, it doesn't get rid of the pain but it does lessen it a little bit.
