Baby

I’m 36 weeks and 1 day pregnant I have this really bad back pain just like some advice what it may be?

Might be caused by the hormone relaxin, getting your body ready for labour

May just be the position baby is in. Any worries talk to your midwife, they will be able to check you and advise.

Hi there! I am 36 + 3 and I am having also more pain than usual in my back. I think it is just the weight of the baby when I sleep. I gets better along the day. Anyway, if you are concerned, talk to the midwife. The big day is getting closer!!

Carrying a baby puts a lot of pressure on the back and can get worse towards the end of pregnancy. I would recommend yoga and birthing ball exercises to ease pregnancy pains. The exercises also help with getting the baby in a good position as well as with contractions and labour. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy x

I’m the same have been for a few weeks I’m nearly 31weeks but this is my 2nd baby I fell pregnant 7weeks postpartum after having my first and I’m massive this time too midwife told me not to be concerned it’s just the pressure of the baby 😊 but if the pain gets worse you I get tightenings across my stomach to ring them back at the hospital xx
