Back ache?

Anyone else suddenly experiencing way worse back ache? I’m 35weeks + 3 days.

My back keeps hurting so much and I can’t get relief from changing positions. I don’t remember my back hurting as much with my first, although I’m convinced this baby is bigger and they’re way more active than my daughter was!

Any tips also other than heat? Thanks!

Saaame 😭 I saw a Physio who said at this stage it’s just a case of stretching and managing the pain with heat like baths and hot water bottles. Hope you find some relief soon! X

I've felt the same, my lower back in particular has been really bad and it wasn't in my first pregnancy. My midwife recommended a pregnancy belt. When he moves I do get a little relief but my body just feels broken tbh and this is before the birth 😬

36 weeks now and since baby moved down into my pelvis the back pain has been intense, paracetamol and a hot water bottle are my saviours right now but even they don’t do much🥲

my body feels super run down this time 🥲 I can’t wait to give birth and start recovering but dreading how run down I’ll be starting from!

My backs been broken for weeks, it’s pretty much constant pain now and the ciatic pain that radiates down my backside is aweful. Im having to take paracetamol most nights to get any form of sleep I’m in so much pain. Although last time my back pain was gone almost instantly after birth so I’m hoping for the same - minus the hemeroids this time as that was equally as horrific 😂😂😂

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
