TGIF...sakit pinggang la pulak..


I am soo sleepy..trying very hard to refrain myself from making a mug of hot steaming coffee...
My Big J has left since 1000am..since he also not well himself..I had lunch at The Weld's fud court earlier....i ate the sizzling mee with egg and also tapau back a pack of chicken rice..kehkehekh just in case i feel hungry later. So, far today alhamdullilah no more frequent trips to the loo for the big biz...i think i'm lactose intolerance la..baru teringat smlm pagi i minum one full mug of hot milk...hmmmm

Lepas balik from lunch, rasa uneasy plak kat area pinggang ke atas..adeh..duduk x kena..diri x kena...Mrs. Chow tolong buat back massage..perghh sedap gak makcik ni urut..tapi memandangkan kat opis xleh la buat mcm kat massage parlour gitu kan..

How to soothe back and leg pains

As you wind up the second trimester, you may start noticing some new symptoms, such as backaches. About half of women have back pain at some point during pregnancy, usually in the lower back. You may have lumbar pain, which is felt around your spine at about waist level. It may be aggravated by sitting for long periods of time, standing, or lifting — and it tends to be worse at the end of the day. Then there's what's known as posterior pelvic pain, which you may feel deep inside your buttocks (on one side or both) or in the back of your thighs. This pain can be triggered by activities such as walking, climbing stairs, getting in or out of a low chair, twisting, and lifting. Positions in which your hips are bent — such as when you're sitting in a chair and leaning forward — may make posterior pelvic pain worse.

You may also find that your leg muscles cramp up now and then. They're carrying extra weight, after all, and your expanding uterus is putting pressure on the veins that return blood from your legs to your heart as well as on the nerves leading from your trunk to your legs. Unfortunately, the cramps may get worse as your pregnancy progresses. Leg cramps are more common at night but can also happen during the day. When a cramp strikes, stretching the calf muscle should give you some relief. Straighten your leg and then gently flex your toes back toward your shin. Walking for a few minutes or massaging your calf sometimes helps, too.

Soothing back pain

**************************

Getting regular exercise, using good body mechanics, and paying attention to your posture can help keep backaches at bay or ease pain you already have. Here are some other suggestions:

• Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Take frequent breaks.

• Take it easy and don't get overly tired.

• Avoid activities like vacuuming and mopping that require you to bend and twist your body at the same time. (If there's no one else to do these chores, move your whole body rather than twisting or overreaching to get to out-of-the-way spots.)

• Soak in a warm bath or use a hot pack on the affected area. (Or try a cold pack if heat doesn't work for you.)

• Ask your partner to rub your back, or schedule a prenatal massage with a trained therapist.

• Sleep on your side with one or both knees bent and a pillow between your legs and another pillow (or a wedge) to
support your abdomen.


Above all, always listen to your body, avoiding particular activities or exercises that make your back ache.
