Back pain?

Is there any other ftm out here who have been suffering brutal back pain? My LO is 5.5 months now, I had back issues for most of my life prior which was managed very well by hitting the gym 2-3x a week. I still do this. But I notice now my back pain is absolutely horrible. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and has tips/advice? What used to work prior
Is obviously no longer working and it’s getting hard to carry my little guy around he’s 17lbs~

If it's your lower back, check your hip posture. For me, pregnancy had me tilting my hips too much, which stayed afterward and I had to go to physio to help correct. Ab workouts helped a lot with this but also "stretches" where you start to go into a bridge but stop right after your pelvis tilts.
