Few options: Tylenol, (acetaminophen) warm or cold compresses (which ever feels better), gentle stretching, yoga or mediation are the safe / easy options. Worse pain needs discussed with your ob, as other medications are used in pregnancy, but your OB will know best as to which are safer in pregnancy.

Rest: For now, rest, warm compresses can help and only approved medications that your ob/gyn tells you to take if needed can be used.

Have the baby: The title is the most truthful and definitive form of treatment. But in the mean time 1. Posture- shoulders back, relaxed, stand tall, don't lean back to offset belly. 2. Low heeled shoes (not flat, not high); good arch support. 3. Sleep on side 4. Don't bend at waist; bend at knees, lift with legs 5. Massage, heatpak/cold- sootheaway device (www.Sootheaway.Com) 6. Aquatherapy/stretches.
