I am 30 weeks pg tomorrow and have pulled something or trapped a nerve in my back, I actually felt it last night and screamed in pain. Since then the pain has been on one side. It eases for a little time and then comes back, I have been awake most the night and the pain keeps reducing me tears.
I am taking paracetamol but don't know if I should be doing something else or should contact the midwife (I have an appointment on Monday anyway) ???

I did something similar at about 28 weeks. Just try to rest as much as possible, put a hot water bottle on it and don't try to twist your back (like getting in and out the car and reaching for things off high shelves). You could go to A&E (go now before it gets busy with the saturday night piss heads) or local NHS walk in centre (that's what I did). They gave me codeine which helped lots (with the pain and helped me sleep), washed down with lactulose!
