I went to physio for my back about a week ago, and one of the things they recommended was getting a birthing ball to sit on. I dutifully popped to Argos and got myself a gym ball (I'm hoping they are pretty much the same thing), and have been sitting on it most of the day every day since. I quite enjoy rocking around on it while sewing at the table. It seems to help relieve some of the tension in my lower back and makes me sit up straight, but it hasn't had much/any effect on my upper back-ache. Still, every little helps. Plus now I've got it for the early stages of labour too (eek!)
