What can I do about backache
Exercise
You may feel more like curling up in bed than exercising if your back hurts, but don't take to your bed for long periods. Bed rest is generally not helpful in the long run for low back pain and may even make you feel worse. In fact, exercise may be just what you need.

Check with your caregiver before beginning an exercise program, though, because there are some situations in which you may have to limit exercise or forgo it altogether. Then, consider:

  • Strengthening exercises to help build the muscles that support your back and legs, including your abdominal muscles.
  • Stretching exercises to help the muscles that support the back and legs become more flexible. Be careful to stretch gently, because stretching too quickly or too much can put further strain on your joints, which have been made looser by pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is one good way to stay limber, and it can help improve your balance, too.
  • Swimming is a great exercise option for pregnant women because it strengthens your abdominal and lower back muscles, and the buoyancy of the water takes the strain off your joints and ligaments. Consider signing up for a prenatal water exercise class, if one is available in your community. These can be very relaxing, and there's research suggesting that water exercise may decrease the intensity of back pain during pregnancy.
  • Walking is another option to consider. It's low impact and easy to make part of your daily routine.
  • For lumbar pain, try doing pelvic tilts, which can ease back pain by stretching your muscles and, over time, strengthening them as well. Here's how: Get on your hands and knees, arms shoulder-width apart and knees hip-width apart. Keep your arms straight, but don't lock the elbows. Tuck your buttocks under and round your back as you breathe in. Relax your back into a neutral position as you breathe out. Repeat at your own pace.
Pregnancy may require you to change some of your usual exercise routines. (If you're new to exercise, check out our exercise suggestions for beginners.) In fact, there are some specific guidelines for exercising safely during pregnancy – such as not lying flat on your back and not getting up too quickly – that you'll want to keep in mind.

Whether you're an athlete or a newcomer to exercise, listen to your body and don't do anything that hurts. Finally, watch for warning signs that you may be overdoing things or developing a problem that needs medical attention.

Wah... Expensive... I was just thinking of getting a normal body pillow. Is that sufficient???

At first i wanted to get a body pillow too. But after i compared, i still preferred theraline so i bought it. Think you should go and look around. Touch and feel it to see which is the kind that suits you. :)

Maybe our body and bones all stretched and loose after 1st. My 2nd pregnancy was so painful throughout that i didn't know i was in labour until i went for gynae appointment, he did a VE and told me he could feel baby's head already. Already 5cm dilated but my backache and pelvic pain made me so numb i could not feel a thing. 3rd pregnancy is worse. Backache started from first trimester.

Hi, Do u know how much for electrical one. I has one pump(manually) which I plan to use but my fren suggetst to invest in good pump to save enrgy.
Click to expand...

many brands to choose from...electrical double pump is a good investment if you intend to pump when you go back to work - save time. I bought my medela freestyle US set 4 yrs ago at SGD 450... i think?! bought from SMH spree-er - Tan Leng Leng...not sure if she still help to buy US set...

It depends on the brand and type of pump you are looking for. Range from 200 to 1000. If you plan to pump at work, i suggest you get a portable electric double pump to save time and clear bm efficiently. Manual pump does not work for everyone. I latch exclusively and only pump to relieve engorgement or some for preparing weaning food, so hand express was good enough for me.
