Self-Care at Home

  • Applying heat to the area may relieve pain:
    • Hot soaks
    • A heating pad
    • A hot bath
  • Lying on the opposite side may also relieve the pain.
  • Often, the pain may ease as your pregnancy progresses.
  • Changing how you move—rising or sitting down more gradually, avoiding sudden movement—may decrease the spasms.
  • Talk with your health care provider first, but you may be advised about the use of acetaminophen (Tylenol) to reduce pain.
