Please say the aches stop...

[Mumbofeet]

I'm soooo sick of my lower back/bum/hips aching all the time! I feel like an old lady hobbling around, especially at night time and when i get out of bed in the morning. Someone please tell me that this resolves after the birth and i can go back to lying however i want on the sofa and in bed! Still got 15 weeks to go...

Hi, my DS is 5 (ttc #2), the aches and pains generally go after, especially once you’re able to do a bit of exercise (walking etc) to get a little more back to normal. But ever since I’ve given birth I have had a bad back (think from the weight of my bump) my other half massages me a few times a week luckily, but I never feel completely back to what I was like before. My body has definitely aged, I’m 32.

Go to an osteopath.

I had horrendous back pain throughout my pregnancy and was referred for physio (which did help but only a little bit). Since having my baby the pain has completely gone, I was worried it would hang around but so far so good!

Talk to your midwife about a Physio referral, really helped me. Most aches went away pretty quickly, although my lower back took longer to ease up and has never been quite the same. Don't think it helped that DS was 16months when I had DD so did a lot of carrying him about when probably I shouldn't have been
