extreme lower back pain
anyone else been suffering with lower back pain? what do you do to help it? i’ve always had minor back pain, kinda got worse after my first born but now preggo with second child and it’s been killing me, but it’s been bearable until tonight when i burst into tears as it was horrible, it was like any slight weight killed my back (i mean just standing up would hurt it), the only time the pain seems to ease now is when im laying down, therefore no weight or strain is on it. i’ve never known pain like it!

I’ve been getting lower back pain as well, I just moved house so was lifting things (obviously nothing heavy) but my lower back isn’t happy. I plan to do some stretching exercises, I find cat cow and child’s pose are really good for lower back, and seated twist - search for pregnancy stretches on YouTube.
@Clare that’s great, thank you! we recently moved too, it was four days before i found out i was pregnant and did a lot of heavy lifting, i also work in childcare so i carry a lot of children which might be making my pain worse so i guess i need to stop lifting to ease the strain, but ill definitely look into those exercises you’ve mentioned xx

I’m entering 2nd trimester, first pregnancy and my lower back pain has flared up tonight with a vengeance for the first time this pregnancy. Think it’s the sciatic nerve. I literally feel like I need a walking stick 🤦♀️🤦♀️ so I feel your pain! Literally!
