on 8/8/2006 Don't just sit around all day and be lazy because you're pregnant and it's a great excuse. It is a good excuse, but you need to go out, on your first trimester a jog would be good, but keep it at walking in your second or third trimester. Exercising strengthens muscles. So doing your bit of daily exercise will strengthen your back muscles as well, making it easier to move around a lot more! There's my tip, go for a jog or walk.

on 11/20/2007 Excellent advice on all counts. The pillow link, however, I don't think is as practical as a Redema inflatable ottoman/footrest pillow. Visit www.redema.us to experience this innovative and practical answer to a supportive portable pillow that provides multiple levels of elevation. The best part is that is can be used as a footstool to rest one leg at a time as mentioned in step two in the article.
