Leaving the OB’s office this morning, I somehow tweaked my lower back while climbing into the car. (1 cm dilated, 50% effaced!)
I then proceeded to go grocery shopping. Because I’m smart.
When the Very Helpful Grocery Bagger asked me eleventy billion times if I would like assistance to my car, I declined over and over again. Because I’m smart.
As you can guess, I aggravated my back somethin’ FIERCE while loading my car with said groceries. My back is not happy and I pretty much can’t move.
Since mainlining painkillers (or even Ibuprofen) isn’t in the cards for me, any sage advice for lower back pain relief?
Oh and guess what? I’m 9 months pregnant!
(Taken this past weekend or as I like to call it, the Pre-Crippled Days. Oh, to stand without wincing….)

June 2, 2010 at 11:04 pmI have always had a bad back, esp. thru my 3 pregnancies. I was always told that ice was better than heat…visit the chiro, and do lots of stretching/exercises specific to the back. I think that as our abs get weaker throughout pregnancy, the core gets weaker which can cause the back to easily fly out of joint. Hopefully a quick visit to the chiro will ease your pain.
And you look great btw!!
