Pregnancy pains...?

Question

My back has SERIOUSLY been killing me since I have been pregnant. When I sneeze, cough, or even laugh real hard I get sharp intense pains driving up my back! Are there any ways to help the pain (other than pain relievers) that are pregnancy safe. Maybe a little excersize or ANYTHING really, but it has just gotten really bad and I am only 21 weeks! Please HELP!!!

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. She was sitting on my sciatic nerve. I tried massage, warm bathes, stretches, NOTHING HELPED!!! If she is sitting on a nerve theres nothing you can really do to get her to move but deliver.

Answer 2

My doctor told me that I could take tylenol pm which really helped to relieve my pain...but don't take it more than twice a day...and try for only once. Also try to find pregnancy massages. They are a little pricey but THEY REALLY WORK VERY WELL. Try and get a pregnancy pillow for when you sleep, it will help you to support your back reducing the pain during the day. I used to take a tylenol pm before bed and sleep with the pillow and it reduced my back pain tremendously. Good luck ..I know how bad it hurts....I hope this helps!
