Pregnancy pains, 35 weeks...

[JessRose]

Is anybody else in constant pain?! My back and pelvis are taking the brunt of bump. Paracetamol doesn’t touch the sides, but I’m so reluctant to ask for anything else (I’m a last resort medication taker)! My back pain started lower and it’s travelled as far as between my shoulder blades.

I’ve had a couple of health scares over the past 6-7 weeks, although all tests results are fine, I have gone on to light duties at work as my body is obviously telling me to slow down.

I have been to physio, but I’m going to ring in again for another session. I was just wondering if there’s anything I can do in the meantime that’s worked for other people? (Baths give me all of 10 minutes relief, I have a ball instead of a chair in the office, I’m trying to keep as active as I can but 15 mins walk with the dog has me crippled...)

Have you got a pregnancy girdle of any kind of bump support?

[JessRose in reply to pinkie93]

I have yes for when I’m walking around, but it’s not doing much unfortunately!

I would recommend some fertility reflexology, really helped me and eased my pelvis pain, really was a life saver x

Thank you! People have said acupuncture too x
