Back pain
Hi Is anyone getting extreme back pain 😢 and what is everyone using for it? Is tiger balm safe to use. I think previously I was told that deep heat wasn't safe to use during pregnancy.
Thanks x

I have been having warm but not hot baths ☺️ and stretches. my back pains from damage to the spine after my epidural(s) in my last Labour seems to have gotten worse since getting pregnant again 🫠
I have awful back pain! I did with my first too. I use heat pads, paracetamol and TENS if its really bad! I also find if my partner gives me a back rub with a lot of pressure it helps! Its from all your joints relaxing! I found it got a bit better in the second trimester!

Yes, my lower back started to hurt on Sunday. I'm just taking paracetemol at the moment. I've read that you can use heat pads as long as you don't put them on your abdomen. I found the NHS site useful. https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/related-conditions/common-symptoms/back-pain/
