Pain relief gel
Does anyone know what pain gel I can use on my back that’s safe in pregnancy.
I’m 24 weeks and I do care work. My back is starting to feel sore and I don’t wanna keep taking paracetamol if I don’t need to

Magnesium spray, it’s safe for pregnant woman, I got mine from Holland and Barrett x
@Rachel I think I have some actually thank you!
I was recommended cold rather than heat because often pregnancy back pain is inflammation. Trying the cold packs…. Not that anything seems to help :(
Have you tried a pregnancy support belt? Will take the weight off your bump abit and therefore pressure off your back especially if you’re on your feet all day. My physio recommended just the ones on Amazon - I thought they were going to be a fad but she recommended them xx

@Chloe I’m allergic to nsaid orally anyway so I can’t use them incase it causes a reaction, it’s really for when I’m at work, I’ve tried heat packs but I work in a carehome so it’s already 100 degrees anyway. It’s been 6 years since my last baby so I can’t remember what I used last time as I had the same problem then
