Lower back pain

Hey girls all of a sudden I'm struggling with lower back pain. I have had an MRI years ago which showed torn discs and thinking pregnancy and sleeping on side has just set it off again. Anyone any tips to help it's definitely a muscular/sciatic pain

I’m having horrific lower back pain too, so I also need some advice! 😞

It’s worth mentioning to your midwife or GP - my midwife has referred me for physio x

It’s only kicked off for me in my lower left sciatic area last night!! I’m 21 weeks tomorrow! Even sleeping with a pillow inbetween my legs hasn’t helped

Iv had bad pelvic girdle pain since 11 or 12 weeks with this pregnancy. Iv found doing little and often helps, but that's not always possible with a toddler. Most evenings iv alot of pain / discomfort... But I also got dry needling done a few days ago and it was great!! Highly recommend

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
