Pregnant with bulging discs?

[ldnelegantelephant]

Hi all,
Has anyone gotten pregnant who already had back issues beforehand? Do you have any advice to get through it? I am only 5 weeks and struggling already. I have 3 bulging discs, sciatica and spinal stenosis. Mainly since I cannot take my usual meds. Some people say move around a lot, go for walks, stretch and some say don't move much in T1. Just worried I wont be able to handle the back pain for the next 8 months.

Try and find a good pregnancy pilates class, I had issues following first pregnancy, aggravated a condition I didn't know I had prior to pregnancy, but continued after. I managed pilates till I was 30 weeks with my second (very close pregnancy's). Speak to your doctor about meds to see what you can take to support you. I used a belly band to support my core when I got bigger.
Investigate whether a Chiropractor maybe able to assist you whilst pregnant.
