My back pain is SOOO bad right now. It's been like this for the last 3-4 hours, and I just cannot sleep. I can pinpoint the spot it's at and it feels like a nerve is being pinched. My LO feels like he is towards the front right now though.
I just want to not be pregnant anymore, not have any aches, and sleep like a normal person!! My OH is right next to me just snoring away! I wish he was the pregnant one and I was the sleeping one!!

Any tips for getting rid of the back pain?!?

Poor honey, I'm suffering with back ache and all that eases mine is having a soak in the bath

A nice warm bath usually does the trick for me too!
Hope it eases hun.

Thanks for the tips! Ended up falling asleep about an hour after that post. However, I am already up again. Right now I'm having heartburn like no other.
But I forgot to mention, that my back will hurt even throughout the night, and when I wake up and go to move it pops really loud!! it makes me want to cry it hurts so bad!
I normally lay on my left side, aswell, thats my "as-comfy-as-it-gets" side.

Awww Marchbaby I hope you feel better soon. Did you doc mention why you might be having the increased pain? Usually a warm shower helps me...or even a massage!!

Tiredness and difficulty sleeping

Most pregnant women experience difficulty sleeping in late pregnancy. At this stage, sleep is easily disturbed by visits to the toilet, heartburn, a kick from the baby or a feeling of discomfort lying down. Some women may experience disturbing dreams or nightmares in the last couple of months, which can be due to anxiety about approaching childbirth and parenthood.


Good sleep tips to try:

lie on one side with a pillow under your tummy and another between your knees

rest during the day

avoid stimulants such as tea, coffee and alcohol before bedtime

only get into your bed when you are tired

exercise, such as walking, in the late afternoon or early evening

do relaxing things before bed like soak in a bath, listen to music, massage or meditation


Backache

Most women experience backache at some stage during their pregnancy. The causes include altered posture as the baby grows and hormonal changes leading to loosening of ligaments and greater water retention in the tissues. Backache is often worse at night contributing to sleeping difficulties, especially during the later stages of pregnancy.


To prevent and relieve back pain:

avoid heavy lifting and housework

avoid prolonged standing

rest frequently with legs elevated

be aware of your posture

use chairs with good back support for sitting.
