Safe ways to stretch back?

Question

My back is Killing me! Every morning I usually pop my back by twisting from one side to the other. I now know I'm not supposed to be doing that during pregnancy. Question is, how do you stretch your back if twisting and stretching/ bending too much is out of the question??

Answer

Cat and cow stretches. Try to take a prenatal yoga class for more ideas.

Answer

Google pregnancy yoga! There are lots of moves to help loosen up and stretch your back safely.

Answer

I do a lot of crawling to pick up my 1year olds toys (saves squatting or bending) whilst I'm down there I arch and bend my back and gently wiggle my hips from side to side to loosen them up. I get pelvic ache when I wake up or if I've been sat feeding him for example, so this helps

Answer

I put my arms above my head and hold them together when sitting up straight or standing and lean to either side, it stretches out my spine and feels great! Also maybe consider getting a foam roller, they're great too but don't stretch you as much as just crack your back.

Answer

I lay on my back on the ground with my feet planted, knees up. I also will cross one foot on top of my knee. Another one is to sit on the floor legs out and just reach forward and grab your toes  head down. Downward dog and pigeon are also good for lower back and hips/glutes. Remember to breathe through your stretches.
