39 weeks and pain from neck down to my ankles! Help!

I have pain from neck down to my ankles! It is so bad I can't get in and out of bed myself and was crying last night bc I needed to use the loo but couldn't get up. Luckily my husband heard and helped me (I didn't want to wake him and of course he said just wake him!). Anyway I suspect it's bc I got two pregnancy massages in row....weds and thurs. I've been getting them through out my pregnancy and never had a problem! But my full body aches started fri and don't seem to be getting better :( basically it feels like I have worked out and muscles are super sore. Can barely move around. Also, I have sore throat, so cold flu might be making it worse?

Anyone have any tips to relieve pain? I took a paracetamol that relieves 15 percent of the pain.

Is there any thing I should be worried about? I looked online and couldn't find any causes for full body pain and pregnancy. Perhaps I should call the midwife later today!

Anyone with advice or who had something similar - please help!!

yes call the midwife
That said, could it be the start of flu? That can cause aches I think.

Sounds like the massage I'm afraid. I've had a few that have left me like this. Should pass in a day or 2. :)

oh that's reassuring. What kind of massages are you lot getting ?! :o

I get pregnancy massages. Usually weeks apart, but I got greedy and got two close together. One weds and one thurs. I started getting the muscle aches all over fri so suspected it was the massages close together (bc normally they r fine!). And maybe the flu as well? I was hoping the pain would go away. But it's gotten worse after 3 days! My arms feel like I've lifted weights and pulled muscles! So bad I can't get myself out of bed and barely roll over etc. :( will call midwife just in case. I took a paracetamol this morning. So hope this helps.
