Painful pregnancy

Is anyone else finding pregnancy really painful?
I’m 29 weeks and have been struggling for a while now but it’s only getting worse as it progresses.

I feel bad for whinging as I see this pregnancy as a blessing and I know others will have it much worse but omg is it difficult!!

If one more person says “not long now” or “after Christmas, it’ll fly by!”, I’m gonna scream lol

What’s hurting in particular?
When I was pregnant my back hurt so much that I used to go home on m lunch break and have a bath!
Take it easy and rest when you can

Pregnancy is a bloody uncomfortable at best and painful at worst. It wasn't until after I had my baby that I realised that I had grown used to living in constant back and hip pain.
Hot water bottles, deep heat and warm baths were my saviour. Oh, and a full sized (approx 6 ft) preggo pillow to spoon at night.

It seems like it is never going to end, but it will :) try to enjoy having the best excuse to relax and the last opportunity to be able to do it!

@wellyclad it’s usually my ribs, back and hips. Also I had surgery on my lower abdo, 3 weeks before conception and I get stabbing pains when she moves over the scar tissue.
Tonight I have sciatic pain as well and I’m full of cold! If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry lol

@mummarosie1 a bath sounds divine right now! May have to jump in one as soon as hubby leaves for work.
And omg you’re so right! It really does feel like it’ll never end lol
