Shiatsu Back
Back Pain and 7.5 mos pregnant?

I have really bad back pain, it’s mostly my tailbone and I don’t know how to get rid of it. I haven’t slipped or fallen so I can’t figure out why it hurts so much. It seems to hurt most when I’m lying down. I thought I was doing everything right, I lie on my side and use a pillow between my knees.

So far I’ve tried sitting on pillows, hot showers, and Tylenol and it hasn’t done much. I also have one of those shiatsu Massage Chair things and it helps a little but not much.

I have a midwife appt next week so aside from telling me to go to the dr. is there anything else I can do until my appt? Have any of you experienced this? How did you deal with it?

I’m 30 weeks pregnant and I’m experiencing similar pains, also in my pelvic area and especially when lying down and getting up from lying down. This is my second pregnancy so I know that for me these are normal pregnancy pains. I’ve asked the doctor about it during my first pregnancy and this one and he says it’s all normal, just the baby putting pressure in certain places and just the fact that the third trimester can be very uncomfortable. You kind of just have to deal with it, it sucks but the end of pregnancy is just like that for most women. Good luck and congrats!

EDIT: It also could be sciatica, my son always kicked me in awkward spots and it hurt so bad my legs would give out sometimes, so be careful!

Is there such thing as too much?

Im thinking about purchasing a Shiatsu Massage chair, and I know that I will be using it a whole lot! I was just wondering if using it too much could actually cause any harm to my back.

Everything is okay…………IN MODERATION
