any idea what this might be?

Question

My lower back has been killing me. It hurts too bad to walk sometimes. Is there a way to stop this? No matter what position I'm in, it doesn't go away. And heat pads haven't helped either. I seriously could cry right now. I'm only 29w3d and this is my first pregnancy. Is this normal?

Answer

It sounds like sciatica back pain! I've had it since the beginning of my 2nd trimester and I am now 31 weeks. Sometimes it lasts until you give birth. Stretching helps and back rubs :) I just googled different stretches for it.

Answer

Depending on where the pain is, it could be your lumbar spine or your pelvis moving at your SI joint. Many doctors say it's absolutely normal. In no way is back pain normal. Talk to your doctor about getting a back brace or an SI joint brace. You can also try to see a physical therapist who might be able to help with your pain (give you stretches/ exercises).

Answer

Sad to say but it's normal and might get worse. Ive had it my whole pregnancy and I'm dying from it right now (not really dying) it hurts soooooo bad! Im 37 weeks and 2 days! I cannot wait until
It's over. Seems like it's worse at night.

Answer

Things that help me is Tylenol and a nice bath.
