Im the same, im 29+2 and my back and hips are agony. I already suffered from a sore back. I also have really bad sciatica in the back of my legs. I’ve had to tell my boss I’ll not be in tomorrow and I’m going to phone the doctor tomorrow. I can be so so in the morning but a couple hours later after walking around now and again at work and I’m hobbling along in so much pain. It’s just getting worse every day so I’ve accepted I need to rest and I’ll see what the doctor says. I’ve had physio already and I’m doing the exercises but it’s still there.

Have you got a birthing ball? It’s really helped with my posture and then that’s helped to ease my lower back pain. Swimming is also really good! For immediate relief maybe hot water bottle/hot water pack and just trying to lie down & sit in different positions. Hope it starts to ease up for you soon.

I had the same problem starting at 29wk. For me, physio only made it worse and I was having trouble walking, bending over, even sitting. I found a good osteopath who works with pregnant women that did some spine adjustments, and I started feeling relief immediately in her office. Turned out I had a pinched nerve. Might be an option to consider/look into!
