im 19 weeks pregnant and i have had trouble working for awhile now, i have had bad back problems before i got pregnant however they haven worsened to the extent that i am finding myself leaving work after 2 hrs... i manage a clothing store so my job is on my feet all day, i used to be able to pop some valium and carry on as some what normal but now obviously i cant. i need to use a wlking stick when im not at work and most days i have trouble rolling out of bed. my real problem is that i cant afford to not work and have sick days as i have no realiable staff, the stress of hiring and firing is again way too much and i just dont know what to do. i dont feel sick its a mobility problem and i dont think work understand.....

Honey, your just at the peak of your back hurting while you are pregnant. I had a previous back injury and when I was pregnant... I thought I was going to die!!! I asked my doctor what I could do, and he told me that I could use any thing like icy hot, ben-gay, any thing to help relax your muscles. Its ok for you to put it on your back, but NEVER put it on your tummy! It could soak in to your baby and really harm him/her. Also too, if you want you can take only warm baths. If you take hot baths, it will cause you to have contractions prematurely, and you can lose your baby. So just make sure its warm only. That is what I did for my achy back!! I hope that I was a help!! Good luck and congradulations!! P.S. Never use a heating pad while you are pregant... it can make you have premature contractions...

Have you tried a chiropractor? I had never been to one until earlier in this pregnancy. I was holding my toddler daughter and bent to put her down...YIKES! By that night I literally couldn't walk. It took me 10 minutes, in tears, slink out of bed onto my hands and knees and crawl to the bathroom. I called the on-call OBGYN who said I could take Extra strength Tylenol, which helped me sleep at least.
I called a chiro first thing in the morning. He worked on me a little while. I walked out and withing 2 days was totally pain free.
Many women go to the chiro weekly during pregnancy. Your back is and pelvic/hip area is taking a beating right now and it will only get worse. I would at least try a visit.
Worst case scenario, get your doctor involved so you can get put on disability. I know that doesn't solve your problems at work, but at least your bills will get paid.

possibly it grew to become into in elementary terms a low priced dye! Hair gel additionally does help it fade, it use to take place to me so i ended utilising it. I dye my hair each and all the time- with the aid of fact I certainly have warm crimson and purple so it fades extremely quickly too. I stay away from utilising warm water and too lots shampoo. Use alot of conditioner to maintain your hair healthful. flow away the dye in longer than 25 minutes to make beneficial your hair absorbs the dye, at maximum a million hour. Use warmth from blow dryer to accentuate the colour.attempt Manic panic, specific outcomes, or punky colour dyes. you will stumble on them at Sally's elegance furnish shops or online. look on ebay. nicely, all of them final a reasonably long term! placed on gloves it gets messy and intensely no longer person-friendly to get off of surfaces O.o you will learn your very own tricks over the years as you proceed dying your hair- goodluck!

Have you talked to your doctor about this? He or she could put you on disability and you would be getting at least part of your pay.

Some pre natal physical therapy or water therapy would work.
