any help is appreciated thankyou.39 weeks preg with bad back...please any advice???
back ache is normal in late stages of pregnancy but in saying that All I had when I was in labour with my son was a constant back ache that would not leave me it would come in waves stronger then faint then strong again.
If your backache becomes constant go to the hospital.
I think things are moving along for you and you should be having your baby soon.
best of luck to you.39 weeks preg with bad back...please any advice???
For some women discharge starts ti increase as they are approaching the end of their pregnancy When I was expecting both my sons I had a lot of discharge throughout.
An increase and thickening in discharge towards the end of the pregnancy may be a sign that your approaching pregnancy. Yu can use pads to help it from staining your knickers.
As for the back pain you can buy pillows designed for pregnancy which you put between your legs.
see a physio and get some acupuncture - worked wonders for me during late pregnancy. Really, it made the difference between not being able to walk or sleep for the back ache and becoming something like a normal person.
Backaches are usually caused by the strain put on the back muscles, changing hormone levels, and changes in your posture.
Recommendations:
1. Wear low-heeled (but not flat) shoes.
2. Avoid lifting heavy objects.
3. Squat down with your knees bent when picking things up instead of bending down at the waist.
4. Don't stand on your feet for long periods. If you need to stand for long periods, place one foot on a stool or box for support.
5. Sit in a chair with good back support, or place a small pillow behind your lower back. Also place your feet on a footrest or stool.
6. Check that your bed is firm. If needed, put a board between the mattress and box spring.
7. Sleep on your left or right side with a pillow between your legs for support.
8. Apply a hot water bottle, heating pad on low setting, take a warm bath or shower, or try massage.
9. Perform exercises, as advised by your doctor, to make your back muscles stronger and help relieve the soreness.
10. Maintain good posture. Standing up straight will ease the strain on your back.
Contact your doctor if you have a low backache that goes around your stomach and does not go away within one hour after you change position or rest. This might be a sign of premature labor.
I think this is labour just a slow progression Go to the hospital as you may need a little help to get things moving.Try walking about as 39 weeks is classed as full term I was 38 weeks when I recently had my daughter 4.5 weeks ago.Best wishes
you could be in back labor... i would call your doctor or hospital and get checked. a lot of times you will just have severe lower backache and no contractions....

Your baby is growing and just has its weight on a nerve or two causing your back pain. It may also just be weight displacement with the baby; when lying on your side, throw a pillow between your legs to help alleviate pain in your spine.
Maternity pillows
backrubs
hot showers on back
hot bath
pain killers? (ones u can take)
Hope I helped. Good luck honey
Also, slow deep relaxed breathing might help move things along as your body relaxes
