Bad back pain

[katesav87]

Hi
I need to go see the midwife but just wanted to ask everyone's advise I'm 19 weeks tomorrow and for a few weeks now I've had really bad back pain and pain around my hips especially if I've sat down at work all day and in the evening it kills me. It is low down and more on the right hand side. It goes all the way down my right leg. I just feel so uncomfortable already. I struggling rolling over in bed and getting out of bed. If I've been out all day to my whole abdomin aches. Does n e one know wat it could be and if I can do n e thing to sooth the pain. I think it's only going to get worse in the next 21 weeks and I'm worried!

I'm 30 Weeks and had the same symptoms as you at around 23 Weeks, I have been diagnosed with SPD (Symphasis Pubis Dysfunction).

Speak to your midwife as soon as you can, I was given a giant tubi-grip that I put on in the morning, it goes from under boobs to knees and then doubles upwards to support your bump and pelvis as well as a Velcro support brace which goes around my pelvis and lower back for when I'm running around at work.

These really do help, have also been given physio where they assess your movements and give you some good techniques to minimise strain and they.can give you crutches if required.

Thank u gonna go see the gp this week see wat they can do its just hurting so much my bum hurts to wen I sit down just can't get comfy! Not looking forward to getting bigger lol
