Back is killing me!

[SarahMcCxx]

I'm 28+4 and over the last couple of weeks my back pain has gradually got worse. Sometimes it's so bad I could cry. Does anyone have any suggestions to ease the pain?

It's worth talking to your midwife, have you had back pain in the past?

Hot bath or hot shower usually help me, as does exercise - walking or swimming prob best!

It could be the baby's position. A back to back baby will often cause back pain. My baby has just turned (at 40 wks!) and although the pain isn't too bad, I've been reading a lot about it. If it is, then lots of time on all fours, birthing ball, tilting forward and exercise will help but mw can advise.

Ive got my 28 week check up this morning so will definitely mention it.
