Ok, so I wasn't sure where else to go with this question. My doctor didn't give me any definitive answer and Google hasn't been real helpful either ( Read more... )

Hey guys :)

So I am almost 33 weeks along and having some bad back pain :(

I just wanted to do what stretches/movements in particular helped your back pain. I have googled this and have found a few stretches that help a bit, but I just wanted some other opinions. Thanks :)

I was here in 2009, under a different username scenecliche, and you guys helped me through pregnancy and really helped me afterwards when I had post partum depression. Now, I am TTC #3! After long talks my husband and I decided we wanted to have another and we wanted to do it sooner rather than later as we do not want too much of an age gap between kids. Big ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm being a bit of a posting whore lately, and for that I apologize. But things just keep popping up that I want to ask about, haha ( Read more... )

Are there ways to avoid cracking your tailbone during labor/delivery? Anything I could be doing now to prepare (~33wks)?

It happened with my son and plagued me for 6+ months after he was born. I want to do anything I can to avoid it this time around.

So, before pregnancy I suffered from back pain, enough that I was prescribed flexeril and mobic for it. Clearly, I can't take those anymore. I'm 14w2d, and lately, I can't go very long standing before my lower back starts to really ache and I have to bend over or sit/squat to relieve the pain. I've seen those maternity support belts, and I want to ( Read more... )
