Please help can't cope anymore

Has anyone got any good tips on bad lower back pain. I have had it for over a week now and can't cope with it any more, I am forcing myself to go to work as if I just sit around at home it still hurts. I am 10+3 Paracetamol and heat gel are not touching it. I will doctors if its still same tue as at work tomorrow but its brining me to tears and can't sleep properly as don't want to move. Please any tips would be great

have you tried to you tube pregnancy stretches and sciatica stretches, i suffer with the sciatica lower back down my leg and omg its a relief

No I haven't may try these later thank you

Pregnancy back support. I have one works wonders but the only thing is you can't wear it all day which it's a bummer when you doing a 12 hour security job x have you also mentioned it to your midwife. X

Acupuncture can work wonders but most won’t do it until after 12 weeks x

Get a pregnancy pillow and avoid laying on your back and try lay on your left side to relieve backaches x hope that helps

Been to the doctors today and because I'm early pregnant they can help 😞😢 looks like I'm in for a ruff ride 😭

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
