YEs, I have been doing the knee chest position and pelvic tilts, but am getting excruciating back pain noentheless, as if it is getting worse. I am worried I will miscarry before they reposition on MOnday. If it gets relaly bad I am going to the ER> I just wish doctors would respond, too, so I could get some idea of their experience success with this. Thanks so much for your reply!
