Waking with back ache at 25 weeks!

Hey ladies, I use a pregnancy pillow. The one I saw advertised that has a flat middle and lifted sides. It’s good for keeping me on my side (which I know isn’t really necessary until 28 weeks, but I like to get used to things before they’re compulsory) but I wake up, hours before my alarm may I add! With killer back pains, from being on my side. Does anyone else suffer with this and if so any advice for easing the pain?

I have this problem, sometimes it’s so bad I literally can’t move 😭

Yes me too. But it reduced when I started putting parts of the pregnancy pillows in-between my knees. I watched a video on YouTube that the fact that we have to sleep on our sides and the knees are gumed together puts pressure on the back so it's best to separate the knee with pillows. (Really don't know how to explain it) but it helped reduce my back pain

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Constant braxton hicks!

I’m 29 weeks tomorrow and they are constant especially when I’m walking about!

This didn’t start happening until I was like 36 weeks with my son 😩

Anyone else the same?
