Back pain exercises

[CoolCat2014]

Does anyone know any good stretches or exercises for back pain? The only stuff I can find all involves laying on your back which I thought we aren't supposed to do!

Laying on your back is ok as long as you are not completely flat for a long period of time. You will know when you need to move, baby and your body will tell you! hth :)

Try cat stretches - on hands and knees, arch your back so you feel a stretch all down your back, then relax and repeat, this works wonders for me. Pregnancy pilates is also worth a go, I've got a DVD by Caroline sandry which has specific pregnancy safe exercises for back ache x

Thanks, will try that
