relieve back pain
snr050507 asked:


I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first and I’m wondering how people would describe braxton hicks contractions?
I’ve been getting intense pains in my back, like nothing I’ve ever felt before, they don’t last too long (long enough to make me real uncomfortable) and I’m not sure if it’s common pregnancy back pain (from muscles softening) or braxton hicks contractions?
AND got any ideas to help relieve the pain?
Cheers guys. :)
