Sorry...I was out for a few days. But thank you all so much for the replies. I may look into it more since many of you have done it safely. I'm in the US, so I think I will look up a physiotherapist. I also have an appt. with a chiropractor tomorrow. Bought a belly band this weekend and slept on the floor- both of which have helped a little. But I still can not bend over...which is hard for my 2 year old to understand when he wants me to pick him up
