Has Anyone Experienced Back Pain In Early Stages Of Pregnancy??

ooooooh im liking the sound of a quick birth

I have really bad lower back pain this time around too. I am an aged care nurse and even though there are 'no lift policies' in place, there is still alot of strain on your back. The morning (all day) sickness isn't helping with my job either!

Ok so i had my first chiro appt this morning and she is awesome! She is also a mum of young children and knew exactly what i needed. She had a special table which seperated for my belly to go in and she found lots of things wrong with my posture.

She made me stand one foot on one scale and the other foot on another to check the shifting of weight. I was 20kg heavier on my right side!! she couldnt believe it was that much of a difference so definitely lucky i went in early to get all this fixed before i get too big.

I also read some great pregnancy pamphlets in there stating that chiro care definitely helps with labours etc

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your responses very much appreciated. I have been diagnosed with sciatica and I am only 9 wks pregnant. I can't move. It is exceptionally painful. I have been to see a physio the morning but don't feel I am getting any relief as I only feel terribly ill afterwards and end up with nausea and vomitting and feel dizzy.

What does the chiro do??

[Danni]

The chiro will help put everything back into place. It also helps with the nervous system. I would definitely give it a go but try and find someone who specialise in pregnancy

good luck

Ubba82 - I so here you there... it is impossible not to 'lift' some times, i'm an aged care nurse too... And already had to have a few days off becuase of the nausea! So my back was already a killer before i was pregnant it just gets worst

Danni i hope you get someone to help you soon!!! the morning sickness is bad enough without having sciatica problems! Hugs to you
