Now it's sort of subsided. Definitely comes in spurts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409354 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:29:05 +0000 ladyfingers 409354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. Yes, yes, yes. I started having lower back pain in the late first/early second trimester and it's just gotten worse from here (sorry!). I also had tremendously bad hip pain from a twisted pelvic joint due to the pregnancy, I had to start visiting a chiropractor regularly and she's helped a LOT. But the back pain (which sometimes wraps around my front, but not in a contraction-y way) is clearly muscular from the feel of it and acts up most when I've been in bed all night (there's only so many times you can flip from side to side) or sitting in my office chair all day. I'm getting a prenatal massage on Saturday and I'm sosososo excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409263 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:45:00 +0000 Crisark 409263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm ready for the back pain to go at any time.<br /> I am not thrilled about it at all lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409253 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:36:25 +0000 legallyheidi 409253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had horrible lower back pain - thankfully i work at a PT clinic, and found out that it's a dysfunctional si joint and a over compensating sacrum or something like that - either way a few massages have helped, and i've laid off my running since that's just making it worse. </p> <p>Everyone keeps telling me that it'll get worse before it gets better...i sense lots of massages in my future :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409242 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:30:23 +0000 JoJoGirl 409242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: @bpaig: Yeah this doesn't bode well for later down the road :) The ligament pain comes and goes but this bladder/intestines thing is so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409203 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:03:48 +0000 shinystraps 409203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I had some ligament pain around 12 and 13 weeks too :( I felt that weird sensation in the beginning when my uterus must have somehow been placing pressure on my bladder. I felt like I always had to go to the bathroom... but I didn't. Hopefully the pressure sensation will ease up for you! I think it has for me. Or I've just gotten used to it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409198 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:01:32 +0000 Crisark 409198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Boo back pain and you are early with the ligament pain so that sucks for sure!<br /> @bpaig: I haven't noticed any itching as of yet but my DH and I both noticed I've grown A LOT in the past week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409187 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:58:01 +0000 shinystraps 409187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: I think you're right, that must be what it is. I'm at 18 weeks and I've noticed more itchy skin on my stomach too, like in the beginning when I first started growing. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409185 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:57:14 +0000 JoJoGirl 409185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 13w4d and my back pain and round ligament pain kicked in this week too. And I think my uterus must have shifted directly ontop of my intestines because I have this weird sensation of pressure/gas.. but not. It's so uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409183 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:55:54 +0000 Crisark 409183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpaig: It's def growing time for some of us it seems.<br /> I'm 17 weeks 4 days and the pains have increased a lot this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409177 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:51:14 +0000 shinystraps 409177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: I've been having the round ligament pain all yesterday evening and this morning too :( Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-409166 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:47:11 +0000 Crisark 409166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's crazy that some of this stuff happens so early on. </p> <p>I'm having some ligament type pain in my lower stomach area today as well so it's going to be a long 8 hours at work lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408509 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:31:00 +0000 aprk 408509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, ugh, I've got it too! It's terrible when I stand or walk around for more than 15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408504 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:30:00 +0000 Smurfette 408504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having issues too. I think if is from my office chair too. I need to get a pillow and see if that will help. I have noticed too sitting on the couch it is starting to hurt. I started putting a pillow behind me and it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408428 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:09:16 +0000 Crisark 408428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah good info!<br /> And I'm sorry you all are also having pain but it's nice to not be the only one lol </p> <p>I'm going to look into that cushion @hergreenapples: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408394 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:34:37 +0000 heartonastring 408394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this too. It was totally my office chair (which I only got this past summer and has been great up until now...I blame changing body proportions).</p> <p>Anyhow, I asked our assistant to order me this goofy looking contraption and it has made a WORLD of difference: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Professional-Series-Support-8037601/dp/B000WTO52I" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Professional-Series-Support-8037601/dp/B000WTO52I</a>. The other thing that's really helped is sleeping with a pillow between my knees to ensure proper alignment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408390 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:30:29 +0000 blackbird 408390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sacrum has been causing me problems (i initially thought it was my sciatic nerve). My chiropractor says it's from things being all loosey goosey, likely coupled with my activity level and it just kind of getting stretched out of place. I ice it every other day or so and get it adjusted every other week. Once, i had a very, very hard time walking. Every step hurt. I went in, he adjusted me, I iced it, the next day, i felt like a million bucks. I also have these stretches I have to do for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408357 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:52:12 +0000 winniebee 408357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpaig: I did this! I stacked books up under my feet and got a back support for my chair. The only thing that seemed to help was the massages (could have been a coincidence). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408355 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:51:19 +0000 shinystraps 408355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told by a massage therapist over the weekend to put a yoga brick (or piece of wood of similar size) under my desk to prop my feet on during the day. I haven't actually done it yet but I hope that will help with lower back pain. Worth a shot at least? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408342 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:48:27 +0000 winniebee 408342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had really bad low back pain in the second trimester and I wasn't even big then.....it resolved after I had 2 massages (back to back weekends). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408337 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:46:20 +0000 MamaMoose 408337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: uh yes my work chair is tough on me too. I found that putting my feet up on the printer under my desk helped. I also told my boss she had two options: 1. I come to work in sneakers or 2. Don't come to work : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408325 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:40:50 +0000 Crisark 408325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: It just started this afternoon. I'm think it's the chair I have at work or the fact that I sit for 8hrs a day? Idk but this blows... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408323 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:38:28 +0000 MamaMoose 408323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had bad on and off back pain my whole pregnancy. If its localized to one spot at the moment for you I would assume you probably slept in a weird position. For me personally pregnancy pillows didn't help but they do for a ton of women so vmaybe look into that option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-trimester-back-pain#post-408302 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:31:40 +0000 Crisark 408302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My back has been hurting a little each day. But, today my lower left back is killing me. Sitting here at work is so unbearable. </p> <p>Has anyone had the same thing? </p>
