Also definitely get a body pillow for when you lay down to sleep. It definitely helps a lot. You can also try some prenatal yoga or pilates so you can do a bit of strengtening of your back. Another thing that works is getting down on all fours and kind of arching and releasing the arch to your back...it helps to stretch it out and relieve some of the pressure on your back. These things helped me get through three pregnancies.
Good luck hon. |
Wow, thank you! So much advice! I've changed my sitting position now, I was sat crossed legged but not now! lol I'm going to go and kneel on all fours in a minute too and see how that feels...
You've actually given me more advice than my midwife who just said she was going to refer me! lol
