Any suggestions for severe lower back pain during pregnancy?I am 28 weeks pregnant and have been having really bad lower back pain for a couple weeks now, but recently it's gotten so bad I can barely walk. I talked to my doctor about it, but he seemed to just write it off, since the baby is fine. I have tried tylenol, hot baths, heating pads, laying down, body pillow, maternity band, massage, everything I can think of and nothing helps even slightly and I am just about to the point where all I want to do is cry, and pain doesn't normally bother me very much. Any suggestions on what else to try / what might help?

See a doctor who can recommend a chiropracter. Your spine might be getting pushed out awkwardly or your pelvis isn't sitting right. I also had really bad backache a couple of weeks ago, but only when I was sleeping, thankfully it resolved itself and hardly bothers me anymore.

Mine has been going on and off since around 20 weeks, it has been especially bad this week. The only thing that really helps me is sleeping on the couch. Sometimes resting in bed with a body pillow, but lately I can't stand to sleep in the bed with anyone because I end up awkwardly positioned and in horrible pain. I'm not sure why the couch works so well..but I can at least move through the day when I sleep on it. Good luck!

I see that you have tried a body pillow...but is it a down body pillow? DOWNLITE makes a wonderful body pillow that relieved my back pain when I was pregnant with my second. Check out the youtube video provided by DOWNLITE to make sure that you are using the pillow correctly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR2Qn_lD1I0
Good Luck, I hope you find something that relieves your pain!
