How normal is excruciating back pain in the last few weeks of pregnancy?

Question

I’m 37weeks and 1 today 
About 10-12 days ago I started having crazyyyy amount of low back pain and pressure and I’m a very active person, professional athlete/dancer. It doesn’t seem like it’s labor since it’s been so long but it extremely difficult for me to walk almost at all. What should I do for this? Is this normal??
I’ve heard women say pregnancy is uncomfortable at the end but this is just straight up painful 😣

Answer

Have you gone to a chiro? I am going to one which seems to help a bit. Also strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, hips, and groin area has helped me some as well. Still a little painful but I can tell a difference.

Answer

Did you let your doctor know? I would start there. You can use ice and a heating pad, just don't let it get too hot. I think you can use Tylenol as well, but just check with your doctor on that. Some light stretching could help as well. ￼￼￼
