Alright, so I just got rid of boils on my back and now have severe back pain because I am pregnant. I am on strict bed rest on orders of the doctor because I went into pre-term with my last child. Nothing I do helps and I am in pain no matter what I do and how I lay in bed. Any suggestions on how I can relieve the pain?

1. Get extra pillows to prop yourself up well.
2. Sleep with a pillow between your knees. This works wonders.
3. Get a heating pad to lay on.
4. Consider your mattress. The end of my first trimester was bad agony on my back. But we got a new mattress (which we desperately needed and were already planning on) and my back is sooooo much better. I know it is an expensive solution, but if you are already in need, maybe now is the time.

Hello, I’ve done massage and muscular therapies for many pregnant women. That by itself should help. Other things you can try….Sleep with a pillow between your knees, this helps keep your lower back un-twisted. If you sleep on your back, keep a pillow under your knees, this also helps support lower back. Also, a tennis ball can help if you lay on it. Place it under your body in the low back on one side of the spine then the other, kind of a self massage technique. Hope this helps.
