How far along are you? I am 35 weeks and I have been having new and horrible back pain since 32 wks or so. I was even getting the pain with contractions. My doc said it is just b/c I am later in pregnancy. I have a two year old also and picking her up is a rare thing. I sit on a heating pad when ever my little one lets me sit. That helps for a little bit. But I think it is just b/c of the later stages of pregnancy.

I'm just 12 weeks and it's killing and my little boy thinks mommy is supposed to hold him 24/7. Today he layed on me and went to sleep, something that never happens. But back to the pain. With all of my pregnancys I have contractions early and my back always hurts. I don't want to go to the hospital and the same thing happens.

If you are having contractions early that is probably what is causing the pain. I know we all have contractions throughout our whole pregnancies but I have never heard of someone feeling them that early. I would talk with your doctor but in the mean time take some tylenol. My doc said I could take motrin up till 28 wks. I never did b/c I hate taking any meds while I am preg. But that is what I would do. Oh, also have you ever been to a chiropractor? I love mine. I have scoliosis so if I didn't have him I think I would have a lot more pain.
