    It's that time of day again...

    Lately everyday about this time (early evening) I start getting an aching back.
    It doesn't matter if I have been sitting on my bum all day or have been really active - I still get it.
    I'm sure this is a common problem so what does everyone else do to relieve it?

    Try some Brauers Arnica cream (perfectly safe in pregnancy)

    Put some pillows behind you and sit elevated.

    Try heat pack - ok during pregnancy

    Hope you feel better soon

    I know the feeling! I generally try to stay in comfy positions - sitting at the kitchen table helps... or standing and leaning on the back of the couch or chair. If it gets really bad I have a lovely warm bath. That always helps and makes me feel better. If I am totally dying, then I take a couple of panadol too.

    I seem to get bh at the same time everyday no matter what i've done. often accompanied by a back ache. i've found going to bed earlier helps.

    Thanks girls, some good tips to try tomorrow.
    Dust I have definitely been spending waaay too long in the shower lately!! Does really help all the aches & pains though - bugger water restrictions
