Can anyone give me some advice.
Over the last week I have had a few occasions where I have had lower back pain and pain also on either my back far right or left side and central. The lower back pain I am able to cope with at the moment but it's the pain to the far right/left that I can't cope with. Last night it was so bad at 2am that I was sweating/shaking and felt sick, I also had a good old cry . I tried getting on all 4's but that didn't sem to do much, a hot water bottle was little relief and I eventually gave in and took paracetamol. I phoned my midwife who suggested a hot bath which I did but again didn't get much relief. She advised me this is common at this stage (i'm 36 + 6) and that it can get worse later on!!! Baby last night and this morning is very active & I don't have any other problems.
Can anyone advise me if they have experienced this and what they did. Doctor last week gave me co-codomal to help but looking on the internet it doesn't say this is ok in pregnancy yet it doesn't say it's bad, it basically leaves the decision up to me & dh. I don't want to risk anything at this stage yet I can't bare this pain when it occurs. It worries me that if I can't cope with this pain now how am I going to go on with labour.
Sorry to go on but I just thought someone may be able to advise me further.
Thanks
