Is anyone else really struggling with upper back pain? Over the past 2 days it’s been horrendous. I can’t see anything online other than lower back pain being linked to labour.

Is it between shoulder blades ish?

I get the pain in my middle/upper back going into my ribs if i sit down for a while. i have to walk around to ease the pain. it’s like a sudden ache that’s super uncomfortable! Baby is probably pressing on nerves x

I get this. I'm a teacher and if I stand to long I get it, but also sometimes when I'm seated

Yes ! I feel like I need one of those medieval stretching torture devices ! It’s like a painful ache and tightness xx

Yes so much! Mine is mid to upper back i find if I sit or stand for too long it bothers me even more so I’m constantly up & down🥴 the only thing that has slightly helped me is getting on my hands and knees and moving my hips, it seems to change the babies position & make me more comfortable for a short time 🥲

yeah exactly x

sameee 💀 nothing seems to ease it either xx

indigestion and the pressure of the baby making it worse. It feels absolutely awful I’ve had it the past few days and after I eat it’s so much worse. The hormones preparing our bodies for labour are messing up the digestive system xx

thank you I’ll have to give this a go 🥲 we got this x

nope, Im just constantly irritable and overstimulated at this point so a lot of changing chairs, medicine ball, trips to the fridge but nothing actually helps xx
I’ve tried doing stretches but honestly nothing is helping, I had to get out the bath the other day because it felt worse xx
The joys of pregnancy haha xx
