What have you ladies been doing to help with it? I am between 18-19 weeks. Due date is fuzzy, between December 10-15. My mid back and low back muscles along my spine and hips are sooo sore!! Heating pads work for a little while. I'd love something that lasts longer. And, Here's my bump! (After breakfast and lunch lol) anyone else's bump bigger as the day goes on compared to the morning?

Oh my gosh my back has been killing me. I am fine all day then 4-5pm it starts and it's sooooo bad ugh I haven't tried a heating bad does it work? I get so nervous that it's so painful is it normal from the pressure were feeling and weight were holding in front?

That's exactly when I start having the worst of the back pain! Heating pad does work but relief wears off if you get up and move around much.

I've been getting sharp spasms in my lower back when I move into certain positions - sitting, standing, and laying. I am really considering prenatal massage. I have some friends that did this and they said it really helped their pain.

I've been seeing a chiropractor for the sharp, sciatic pain I've been getting and it helps. I'd love a massage but it's expensive here.

Same here! I'm 18w3d and it's been killing me! I was having trouble staying comfortable at night so I bought a pregnancy pillow. It's a lifesaver! I recommend one!

I got the boppy one since I live in Hawaii and ordering just takes so long, even from Amazon. I was in desperate need of sleep. I like it. It's not too firm and it can come apart to form different positions depending on what in need. But aide sleeping is uncomfortable for my back and shoulders.

Which one did you buy?

the long part. Then I tuck my arm under the loop where my head goes. I've been waking up on my side ever since! 👍🏻 I bought it on Amazon for $50-some.. So worth it!
