Joint pains are already a part and parcel of pregnancies. Your growing baby and all the associated hormones might exxacerbate your previous (pre-existing) conditions. During this time, you need proper, hands- on guidance about how to tackle these problems. Please consult a good therapist, in person (preferrably).
Good luck to you for this beautiful journey!
Health Tips
Until then, just remember:
1. Sleep with a big semi-soft pillow between your knees (always).
2. Do your stretches regularly; on waking up, mid-day and before going to bed.
3. Always sit with your feet up.
4. Stay as active as you can.
