Hi all - am hoping for a bit of advice as to whether to bother my doctor / midwife about this, any help would be great!
I am currently 21+5 and I am getting a lot of pain in my lower back and hips. It's worse in the evening and at night, when I keep moving it's not as bad but as soon as I stop and sit down for a while I am in agony when I get back up, and it takes me a good few minutes to start moving! I can't lie on my back in bed as it's just too painful, and when I lie on my side I usually get woken up by whichever hip I am lying on!
I was a size 16 before becoming pregnant, and I have put on about 12lb's so far, so not too far above the average! Should I make a doctors appt, or is this just normal pregnancy stuff and I have to grin and bear it? I work full time so unfortunately spending more time resting in bed is not really an option
