When you lay on your side, try putting a
pillow between your knees. That might help
align your spine more. And maybe instead
of using .icy .hot (I don't know if it's
safe or not, but I always stayed away from
medicine during my pregnancy) you can try
a heating pad. There are heating pads
available now that automatically shut
themselves off after 30 minutes or so.

I've not heard one way or another on the
icy hot stuff, but a heating pad is ok to
use for short time spans. Have you tried
sleeping elevated, like in a recliner?
I've heard some people say that helps ease
off some of the pain. I have a lot of
back pain too, but usually I can just put
a pillow between my legs and I'm ok. I
hope you find something that works for
you.

I agree with this - you should see your
doctor cos your bump surely isn't big
enough to be causing so much pain

Hey, don't panic about it though! If
you've got an infection then it's
treatable and if you've got a back problem
then maybe the bump, despite being little,
is exacerbating it

I had back pain that early in my pregnancy
and it was just because of all the
hormones in my body making my muscles
relax. Thankfully it does go away.
I called my dr about it so I think you
prolly should too.

im really getting worried now
the pain in my back has started up again
and its not as bad as it was last night
but its pretty uncomfortable and hurts
like the dickens
i have the heating pad on and its helping
but i was talking to travs mom about it
and we are wondering if this is infact an
infection
i had 4 weeks ago but my doctor perscribed
me witth oral meds twice a day for 3 days.
my next appointment is on the 24th
im not sure if i should wait until then to
see if the pain goes away?
