Backache

I seem to be getting sore back easily these days. It’s usually extra bad after I sat on the floor. I mentioned that to the midwife who made me demonstrate my sitting posture. Then, the cause of the backache became clear. I usually sit crossed-legged. Apparently, during pregnancy all the joints become very flexible, and this sitting posture causes the back muscles to stretch too much thus resulting in backache. The midwife suggests that if I have to sit on the floor, the best posture is to bring the knees to the chest, try to keep the legs together as much as possible…how does that work when the stomach gets bigger??
