bad back

[natharley11]

hi i seem to be getting a really achy back if been lying down a while
esp on my left side. im 19 weeks today is this just norm pregnancy aches and pains
I wondered is the fact that my little boy was back to back in labour did suffer for while after could this be adding to it

hope that makes sense x

Have you ever had problems before? My back has always been bad but did get worse in pregnancy. I saw a pregnancy Physio who gave me some helpful exercises: definitely doing your pelvic floor exercises every day should help.

I also found a fat pillow between my knees helped minimise pain/stiffness from lying on my side at night.

will try the pillow thing
I suffered with it after my ds was born apparently he was lying back to back.

gt the occasionally flare up but dew and far between maybe just pregnancy effecting that
