As you all know i've had pretty bad back
pain for the past 12 weeks but in the past
couple of days it's got alot worse. I was
doing physio but i can't do the exercises
anymore at this stage because it could do
more harm then good etc. I really don't
want to leave school now, we've only got 4
more weeks untill exams start so i want to
stay until then because it sems a bit
pointless leaving a couple of weeks before
everyone else yanno? Anyway enough of me
rambling does anyone have any ideas of how
to soothe my back? Like sleeping positions
etc, i was sleeping with a hot water
bottle under me but it's way too hot to do
that now!
Thank you guys Danni xx

Do you have one of those pregnancy
pillows? The one's that wrap all around
you. I have heard good things about those.

Is there an osteopathic physician where
you live? That is what helped me through
my pregnancy. It is similar to
chiropractic treatment, but much gentler.
also D.O.'s are medical doctors, so if
there are underlying problems they can
address those too. I also did a lot of
prenatal yoga.

No, my midwife tried to get me to one when
my back pain started but the closest one
to me is 50 miles away. I'm longing for a
normal sleep again!

That
is a good question. I
know they have them on ebay. So you might
want to check that out. I will talk to my
friends and see if I can find some
additional web sites for it.
This is probably a stupid question. But
I'm gonna ask it anyway. Are you
consipated? Constipation can cause back
pain.

cant really help you with the back pain, i
still dont know how to fix that, i figure
after shes born it should go away right
lol
i just wanted to say, i feel you on the
school thing, if i make it until 2 weeks
after my due date im still gonna miss like
a week of school at the end, so no matter
what im missing exams, im not leaving
before shes born though unless my doc
tells me to, i dont think it really
matters too much, i sit at school most of
the time anyway, its just a little extra
stress thats all, but i know how you feel

Being at school during pregnancy sucks,
but it has to be done hey. I'm just hoping
.Mika doesn't decide to come early because
my last exam is 4 days before i'm due and to add irony to
it, it's my child care and development
exam

is there no way you can retake the exams
if you miss them? mitagating
circumstances?
or you could re-take your gcses at
college....
i have sciatica and it is agony so i
sympathise with the back pain. all i've
been giving is ibuprofen (which obv you
can;t take)
my best advice- try a hot water bottle! it
relieves my pain sometimes.

Danni, ask your midwife about hiring a
tens machine to get you through your
exams.
it's drug free pain relief and supposed to
be the proverbial dogs boll*x
people love it so much they buy their
own.
You should (I believe be able to have the
nhs provide one for you).

I have one for my neck. I couldn't live
without it. I wasn't sure it was safe
during pregnancy, but if it is you should
definitely get one!

Im in school and sitting in those chairs
for hours on end kills me!!
I went to the chiropracter and got
adjusted and it did nothing!!
she told me it was my rib cage moving
making room for brianna.. you know whats
helped me is icy hot stuff that my mom has
(its an all natural kind) its the only
way i can fall asleep at night..also bring
a pillow to school.. i have about 4 weeks
left too and i totally know what you mean
about not knowing if you can make it!!
