I'm feeling that, sister Grin Also pg with no.2. Am 16 weeks in. Have been feeling like utter shite. I started showing at about 3 weeks in. Bloated and achey.

Thought I was getting a bit better than bam, a hormonal wave (I assume, anyway) leaves me feeling nauseous, exhausted and with a banging bastard of a headache.

I had a period of atrocious back pain at about 5/6 weeks, too. Couldn't move for the agonising spasms. Took two weeks to pass.

Here's a link to some gentle back exercises for us pg women:

Back pain exercises

The second page has a description of what to do.

Kegels exercises for your pelvic floor will help the stress incontinence.

I've been trying to walk as much as I feel able to but rest is the main thing. Have been doing back exercises too every now and then. Lots of warm baths and eating whatever I fancy (not too much crap though).

Here's hoping we both feel glowing and glorious soon!
