back pain!

[jaimmtz]

What can I do to prevent so much back pain I can't sleep any more is it normal? I am 35 weeks pregnant and have trouble sleeping due to back pain...

Alternate between heat and ice. Heat feels nice but ice will help if there's any swelling or inflammation on your hips. I've had a ton of back and hip pain this whole pregnancy too and sleep just doesn't happen anymore.. Even with pillows. Good luck!

I'm 28w5d and I haven't slept in weeks due to back pain & my hips hurting. I try pillows, but they only help for a while. At least you're almost done! :)

I use a heating pad for my back and sleep sitting up for my hips. The heating pad makes a world of difference for me.

Pillows!! Or a wedge. I slept with a wedge in my last trimester before. The chiropractor helped me a lot too. My hips would always become out of line.
I think those pregnancy belts help too...not sure for at night but they take the pressure off your back from your belly!

Very very normal. Im only 28 wks and i haven't slept since 16 weeks my back and hips ache so much especially at night! Theres not really anything u can do except use lots and lots of pillows! You're so close to being done just hang in there. Try drinking sleepy time tea to relax at night :-) good luck mama.
