It bugs the heck out of me, at times. I was a very athletic and active person. Now I can barely stand to be upright for extended periods. I have to lay down frequently and rest from the backstrain, despite the back brace they perscribed for me.

I was in Bridge's guild before I came here so you may see this there as well, but I'm wondering if you are getting enough liquids. My OB told me I'm to be drinking 2 liters of fluids a day. Water and juice (especially the 100% juice stuff is good). Soda does not count as liquids and can actually add to dehydration. I was told things like kool-aid are okay, but to not drink to much of them as they contain a lot of empty calories.
Where you are feeding two of them you may need even more than 2 liters of water a day.
I found it has helped me to get my water by carying around a bottled water with me all day. Then I have water I can drink whenever and with the bottled water I know I need 4 of them (I have the .5L bottles) to get what I need.

Okay, well with you talking about needing to lay down a lot I wanted to make sure that wasn't the reason.
Do you have some good supportive nursing bras? If you don't have bras that fit correctly that will add to the strain. Trust me I know. I'm an H cup right now. ^^;;

Jenannen Okay, well with you talking about needing to lay down a lot I wanted to make sure that wasn't the reason.

I'm only a 46 DDD, but at 102 Lbs, it's too much for my frame. I am wearing a rigid back brace, and I have a couple of pretty good nursing bras, I think.

A 46 DDD really? I'm a lot heavier then you and I'm only a 38 (I was fitted professionally). Are you sure your bras fit right?
Maybe consider some physical therapy? I've had problems with my back since I was about 7 months pregnant. For a few months now I have been doing physical therapy (working on strengthening the muscles in my back) and I've been doing a lot better. There were mornings where I was litterally rolling out of bed 'cause I couldn't get up. It didn't happen all at once, but I'm doing so much better!

well... it's now that I have so much upper body mass... it throws off my center of gravity, strains my back, and makes me awkward...
I mean 46-22-36, at 5'3 3/4" and 102... ugh.

Yeah, it was the strain of pregnancy that started the problems with my back.

Hearing a baby cry (anyone's) made things flow for me.
I'd go to the NICU and hold other babies, and rock, and pump . . .
Use sanitary pads cut in half - cheaper, and they stick, and come in assorted sizes!
Also, Bag Balm sure helps sore nipples. (We use it on dairy cows).
