Pregnancy Pain???? What to use?

Hi everyone. I was just wondering what meds YOUR doctor said were okay for pain management. Mainly i'm having back aches. What are you using??

Aspirin is bad because it is a blood thinner.
This is why people should take aspirin if they are having a heart attack it keeps the platlets from sticking together so they can move faster to keep the blood circulating. If you are pregnant you need your blood to nourish your baby so don't speed it up.


I am positive that all you are allowed to take is tylenol. DO NOT Take aspirins or motrin. Be sure to look at the active ingredients aspirin is an NSAID and mortin is Iburprofen so stay away from those but acetomenophen is okay which is tylenol. You should try alternating hot and cold compressions or taking a warm bath before taking medication. There are also exercises that will help, like cat cow - on all fours arch your back with your chin towards your chest release by slowly making your back straight while moving you head to look upward. Do these a couple times and you will feel better. This also works if the baby is in an uncomfortable position and you want them to move.
