Discipline is the best remedy to help from laugh lines. You have to minimize your food intake and cold drinks.

A few things I've found: Wearing certain shoes especially high heeled shoes made it worse, caring heavy things such as the "mama purse" on the same shoulder or a heavy diaper bag tended to irritate more than anything. A kinda- instant relief was I think they are called "chair sits" where you take your right leg (or left) and put it on top of your left (or right), then push your right knee down while holding your ankle with your left hand, then stretching until it has a little burn. I use this a lot especially if I can't move when I'm trying to get out of bed because my leg is giving out. I loved the prenatal massage- it helped a lot but prevention is the key!

I'm interested to know which, if any, prenatals you would take or recommend. In all my past pregnancies, I've taken Opti-natals (aka Vita-natals), made by the Eclectic Institute, but they're unavailable to me now, so I'd like some other suggestions. Thanks for this series!

They are fully trained physicians and a lot of them are specializing in the osteopathic manipulation they are taught in osteopathic medical school. They can help with both sciatic complaints, carpal tunnel symptoms and sometimes even help the nausea/heartburn complaints by treating the upper back. Thought I would offer another option. :) Another option to chiropractic care is osteopathic manipulation - performed by an osteopathic physician (DO).

The best tips I can give is, 1, try to strengthen those stomach and back muscles BEFORE preganancy if possible. 2, The swimming pool really really helped loosen and relax those muscles in the back there. Sometimes the only relief was the pool. 3, A hot pack, heating pad on low, or a warm bath, can really help when the pain gets bad. 4, Try to stand up straight, no slumping and use a back pillow when sitting for very long. Hope this helps some mommies out there and remember, this too shall pass. Shell mommy of half a dozen blessings I have six children and lots of experience with scatic pain.

I second the requests for heartburn help (it's gotten really bad, really fast) and how to make the most of a situation that's not ideal - I'm having twins and am not thrilled about all the "policies" I'm facing from the doctor (no option for midwife here) and hospital. Any recommendations for a prenatal yoga DVD? I took a class while I was in Canada but can't find a live class where I am now and still have a few weeks to go, so I'd like to continue with the yoga. Thanks again!! I've been looking forward to this series, thank you!
