My son is almost 4 months old and I too still get back pain. Especially when Im in bed. If it is really sore and bothering you I would say to go and either see a doc or chiro and get it worked on so you will feel loads better!!:hugs:

Yup, you can go to your GP but I think it's a common problem and they will probably refer you to a physio or give you drugs anyway! I would definately recommend Pilates! It's great for strengthening you back, abs and pelvic floor! Also pelvic rocking back and forth and around in circles on a fitness ball every night for about 10 minutes will help too! Plus the occaisional massage is great! ;)

I hope it gets better soon! :fingerscrossed:

Thanks girls.

Just a question can you go to a chiro, or do you need a referal from your GP?
Im worried about it as it is a differennt pain from before and it hurts all the time.

Don't need a referral to see a chiro..and some private health companies cover treatment too..
