  • I've got the same problem now! i asked this question a couple of weeks ago cos the pain feels like it's swollen around my hips but round the back more the only thing i got out of ppl was i'm prob stretching i think it is cos although the pain is always there it is worse some days and not so bad others i've been using a heat pack but only on the sides cos you don't wan2 heat up your bubs!

    Good luck

  • as long as you do it only to your back, you can use stuff like icy hot, or something like ben gay on your back. just make sure that you don't put anything on your tummy.. that is what i had to do with my last pregnancy and my obgyn told me it was ok.
