A member asked:

15 weeks pregnant. back aches wake me up from sleep. when using rr there's pressure on my lower left back (kidney area) & abdomen. any advice to help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Joys" of pregnancy: The uterus is pushing the intestine upwards as it rises compressing them creating the "pressure". A heating pad can help or positional change by lying on your left side.
