This takes the weight downwards so the pressure is off the spine. His actual suggestion was to wash the kitchen floor! Swimming is also good as the water takes the weight of the baby and you are not using anything that might harm your baby.

You really need to see the doctor or midwife who can assess the situation.

The adjustments relieved all of my back pain until about my 32nd week when things started loosening up for the delivery a week later. The sacral joint pain that started in that last week of my first pregnancy still acts up now and then (almost 7 years later). Massage would certainly help, I've heard that pregnancy massage is very healthy and helps all kinds of stuff like that. You should probably talk to your doctor about any kind of topical painkillers or herbal treatments as well as the vibrating massager. It's always best during pregnancy to sleep on your side, especially in the later months. I had back pain in my first pregnancy starting in about my 13th week until I saw a chiropractor.

Try a warm heating pad and gentle message. Be sure you are not sleeping on your back.. sleep on your left side when possible, with a pillow between your knees. Make sure you are using good posture when standing, sitting and walking. Don't let your back arch... stand/sit tall and tuck your **** under to keep your spine straighter. Also keep in mind that other medical conditions may cause back pain (i.e. kidney stones). If you were not overweight before becoming pregnant, thirteen weeks is a bit early to be experiencing such bad back pains. You might want to make a quick appointment with your regular doctor.
