Back pain

Anybody else have back pain and know of anything to relieve it? I'm 18 weeks today and my lower back is killing me. I've tried the pillow between my legs when I sleep. Suggestions!?

Chiropractor. May be your hips are out of alignment. It's quite common. I go in once in a while when I get bad. All you have to do is tell them your pregnant and they'll work around it and only do what needs to be done and never push on your belly. Once me and DH had sex and my hip pooped out of place. Worst pain in the world! Couldn't stand, sit or walk. Went in to see my chiro and he asked me to stand up after I just managed to sit down and he was like okay your hips out of place. It was sore for a couple days afterwards but it was okay otherwise.

Heating pad, good supportive shoes, don't lay on back, use pregnancy pillow, look up prenatal yoga stretches on YouTube and try to do those each day... I've been experiencing the same thing and started to do the YouTube yoga and it has been helping. (21w1d)

Chiropractor, massage, and ask your doctor/midwife about a belly support band. You can buy them on amazon but generally if it's prescribed your insurance will cover the cost.

I wear a support brace, it helps a good bit. Sometimes I use the heat patches for period pain on my back when I can't be on heating pad. Worst come to worst, I use burnjel on my back, it's an over the counter burn relief product containing 7% localized lidocaine. It won't hurt baby because it's a local anesthetic  and does not absorb into the bloodstream
