Just allow me a moan. Im really struggling with 2 year old ds, working full time, running house etc. I dont know how people cope! Im so tired I could (and indeed do) cry.

But about 3 weeks ago I started with leg pain. Sharp pains shooting up my legs when walking and what Ive seen called fanny daggers (and I really cant think of a better fitting description! ). Mentioned it to consultant and was told its to be expected take paracetamol.
Started to get additional lower back pain usually when sitting. Mentioned all of the above to midwife last week. Was basically told to suck it up, im pregnant, what did I expect?

On Sat night was out with friends for a meal and ended up in tears half way through as pain was so bad and today at work ive been in agony all day. I had nothing this bad with dc1 but apparently its just normal. Midwife said if it was still bad at about 30 weeks she'd refer me for physio. Really? I just suck this up for 10 weeks?

You could see an osteopath privately or try a pregnancy support belt.

I've got this and the osteopath just advised me to do daily hamstring stretches - something to do with the pelvis joints moving around.
