I am 37 weeks and a photographer for a portrait studio. Yesterday a customer who was in the middle of a sitting asked how far along I am and if I have any back pains. I said, “Yes! All the time!,” and she told me to stretch the hamstrings by bending over and trying to touch your toes. Not only does this stretch your leg muscles, but it helps relieve some of that weight pressing against your back and spine.
Also, during one my prenatal classes, the instructor told us to have our partner help us with relieving such pressure. To do this, push a chair up against the wall and place a pillow in the seat. Take a get a pillow for your knees and lean forward on the chair. Have your partern sit on your lower back, facing away from you as if you are the chair, and use your back to support their weight. This puts anti-pressure on your spine, balancing the other pressure out, and relieving some much achy muscles! It sounds like such a silly position, but it really does help!
