If you are like most pregnant women, you may be finding it more difficult to get comfortable during daily activities. Many pregnant women experience this discomfort in the late second and third trimester of their pregnancy. Conditions such as lower back pain, round ligament pain, and sciatica tend to flare up later in pregnancy and cause women to beg their doctors to get the baby out. Fortunately this discomfort is only temporary and should subside immediately following the birth of your precious bundle. Unfortunately, most doctors will not induce strictly because the mother is uncomfortable. If you prefer not to take pain medications while pregnant, there are three natural pain relief techniques that may help you get through this difficult time.

Visit A Chiropractor

Most of your lower back pain and sciatica is caused by a misalignment of your spine. This is often caused by the position of the baby as well as the extra weight being put on your spine. Routine chiropractic care can help realign the spine and relieve the discomfort you are feeling. Before you schedule your first appointment, be sure to ask if the doctor has experience working with expecting women. There are many chiropractors who offer prenatal services throughout the entire pregnancy.

Massage Therapist

Pregnancy massage can be a deeply relaxing experience. At a clinic like Healing Hands Therapy & Tea, massage therapists will use relaxing oils to deeply massage the muscles that tend to hold tension and stress. By massaging these muscles, you will allow your body to fully relax and recover from the burden of carrying around a tiny human for 9 months. You should begin seeing a massage therapist early in your pregnancy so that you can develop a relationship with them if you need services later in the pregnancy. 

Essential Oils

Essential oils have been used to treat a variety of conditions for generations while some people still remain skeptical. These oils are derived from plants and distilled in small vials to be used by individuals suffering from a variety of conditions including pain. Before you begin using essential oils, there are few things you should know. The first thing you should ask you doctor or midwife is if particular oils are safe to use. Once you have determined which type of oils you want, it is time to put them to good use. Many massage therapists use essential oils as part of their massage treatment as they know the health and relaxation benefits to both mother and child.

Don't live with pregnancy pains and stop reaching for the bottle of pain relievers. Look into alternative pain relief methods that are completely safe while you are pregnant.
