kbushby - 1394 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) theres really no way to relieve it. its very normal pains that you are getting though they are just braxton hicks getting you ready for the real thing. ne thing you could take is tylenol. i dont think it works well for body aces. another thing you can do is take a hot shower or bath the hot water will help with pain the less. good luck
