I am in my 19th week now, since past couple of weeks I am having backpain towards the end of the day. I know some of my friends had same problem but in a much later stage(in 8th month). Is this normal? Should I take any precautions? Any suggestions to get away with the pain would be appreciated.Thanks Ritu replied. Hello,

I am in my 21st week. I also get back pain and pain in my legs when i stand and work for longer duration. I am a working lady and have to sit in front of PC in the office. I normally take short breaks after an hour. I find it most difficult when I have to work in kitchen after attending office.

I am also in my 19th week right now and I get a lot of back pain. When I asked the doctor, she said that I should do a little walking (since I sit in front of the PC all day) in between - at least once every hour. She also suggested to get back massages and apply sports gel if it gets too bad. If you are at home, I think you should try to lie down for a while when it gets worst and if you are working like me, then maybe take a walk every hour and that should help. Also get a comfortable chair with back rest.
Hope this helps! Have a happy and healthy pregnancy

Ami
