I am 33 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from very intense back pain! It is a constant pain and unable to move! What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

Messages here are certainly the first thing to turn to! In my opinion, your situation could be very well relieved by someone who has massage skills and is used to massaging pregnant women. This could be your spouse, or a massage therapist.

In any case, one will not seek to apply a medicated cream. One will simply use a massage oil.

Also, and this bit of my answer will seem counterintuitive to you, but you absolutely need to move like taking walks and going to the municipal pool to do the swim in order to reduce the pain. You will see that after a few minutes, the pain should already be a little less worse, and after a few days of activity, you will feel much better.

Of course, respect your limits in terms of effort and vigor in putting in your activities. 😊

I hope my advice was helpful.

Tell me about it,
