    there is a wonderful product called 'warmties' they have a website with a dot com dot au at the end

    It's a wheatbag (or rice??) that you heat up and you can tie onto you with a soft cotton cloth. They are amazing for achy backs because you don't have to hold them in place!

    Good luck!

    wheatbags have been the most effective for me

    also just floating to get the weight off everything. Even 5 minutes sometimes can help!

    Be careful with rubs etc- my pharmacist said most aren't recommended for pregnancy

    Good Luck!

    Similar to warmties, there are band aid like heat packs that last 8 hours. Elastoplast and Nurofen make them. Works a treat.
    Also, hydrotherapy has worked well for me.
    Back pain is the pits.
    Hope you feel better soon
