Might have been the answer to your problem but it’s not mine 😩

I’ve always had back issues, but with this pregnancy recently I have been having a hell of a time.

I normally have a pretty high pain tolerance, but my back seriously is no joke.

I will stay up crying because it is bothering me so bad.

Last night I was up until like 3/4 am.

I’ve tried cold compress, warm compress, baths, showers, stretching, being more active, etc.

Which the cold compress helps at first, and the baths help at first. But it doesn’t like “cure” it.

I mentioned it to my mom one of the days because she called and when I called her back I guess she was disgusted that I had slept in so late. And keeps telling me I need to work out more and I need to clean and not

Be lazy and my back won’t hurt so bad.

Okay, but my back hurts the worse on the days that I’ve cleaning all day or that I’ve been out and about. If I walk too much, my hip gives out.

my grandma told

Me not to push myself and I should be resting as much as I can.

Which, seems to be helping me more. I don’t want to be lazy. I had hoped I would be one of those pregnant women who could do everything, but I had been so sick in the beginning to the point I was throwing up all night long. Most of my second trimester i was doing great. But now, I feel absolutely dreadful.

I do what I can when I can.

I love the days I feel like I can do everything.

And it makes me feel so shitty when people remind me that I’m not doing all that I want/would normally do.

Hopefully going to my OB she can help me figure out something out.

Has anyone else also had a prenatal massage?
