Hard pregnancy

Hiya! I'm 28 weeks and suffering real bad back pain and sciatica, I've been referred to physio but they couldn't give me a time frame to when I'd be seen! I find that a hot water bottle really helps and not sitting with your legs crossed over. I've heard that a yoga ball helps too ? X

My sciatica has been awful, been given a support belt to use at work and have got a yoga ball but use it to stretch my back not to bounce on, I’ve found using deep heat is the only thing I can use that will relax me enough. Mines just starting to go into my hips & legs, it’s awful. Just have to rest and take it easy, hope you’re okay x

Mine was absolutely horrible with my first pregnancy. The only thing that helped was hot baths and heating pad. Although don’t do the hot bad without your other half around, I had to have his help getting out of the bathtub. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly!

Oh don’t I’m 32 weeks and now going to get fully signed off until mat leave. I’ve suffered with hyperemsis the whole way and now the pelvic pain is ridiculous I can’t walk!

I’m the exact same. I’ve had to give up work now and I’m 30 weeks. Mental health has definitely taken a hit from it all. This is my first pregnancy. Hope you are all okay xx

Aw I’ve tried everything. Was in triage a few weeks ago as the pain was so unbareable and I couldn’t walk. I’m 31 weeks today as was off sick until I got put on leave at 29 weeks. It just feels like the end of this pregnancy is dragging as I just sit at home alone most of the time

Same I’ve had sciatica really bad on and off on the sick back work now I need to try last till maternity leave last day of feb but really not sure back is bad again now o been back a few days gets me down because I want to earn money before baby comes x

This is my third and has been horrendous from start to finish , constantly sickness, sciatica, nausea, insomnia, heartburn, tiredness. I also caught covid . I feel like I've had every bad symptom possible!
