intense menstrual back pain

[Anonymous]

I am 39 weeks and for the past week my back pain has become increasingly more painful, particularly when sitting and lying down. Does this mean I am getting closer to delivering? Does anyone have any recommendations to alleviate the pain? Tylenol only moderately helps.

If you can get an appt with a masseuse who specializes in pregnancy, it will help.

You can also ask your doctor - there are muscle relaxants that don't harm babies.

Other than that, know that you won't be pregnant much longer and can go back to Advil.

Heat--not that it's a great time of year for it, but it should help some.
