Suggest Treatment For Headache And Back Pain During Pregnancy
I m in my Third Trimester having lots of painful headaches (always on the left side of my head between my ear and forehead) I ve taken everything possible that I can take to get ride of the pain and nothing work, just dulls the pain, I ve went as far as to putting ice hot on the areas that hurt and used a heating pad. I ve also been having back pains on the left side of my back towards the bottom(near my hip) also pelvic pain on a scale of one to 10 about a 5, but this pain seems to come and go.

Hello,
Headache in the last trimester should be taken care of, headache commonly is due to poor posture the extra weight that has to be carried but the most important is that it may be indicative of pre-eclampsia symptoms. You are suggested to get clinically examined for your blood pressure by your OBGYN or GP, get it managed at the earliest. Since you are in the last trimester you should be careful about pain that comes & goes. It can be labour pain.
Labor pain contractions usually cause a dull ache in your back and lower abdomen along with pressure in the pelvis. Contractions move in a wave-like motion from the top of the uterus to the bottom. The pain becomes intense & relaxes. By this time you should get 'show' (pink jelly like blob).
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
