Third trimester struggles

[abbettsi]

Hi, apologies for the moany post but I was wondering if anyone else is struggling with mid/upper back pain? I’m 33 weeks and I’ve had quite bad back ache for weeks but it’s getting worse, I’m taking as much paracetamol as I can and I’m still in tears at times with it. I find just sitting down causes agony across my bra line. Docs have said there’s not much I can do for it and I’m booked in for a massage but this isn’t for another 3 weeks. Does anybody have any tips please??

I’ve been signed off work with this plus nausea. I feel completely wiped out and I’m lacking energy for my almost 4 year old who has been surprisingly very patient, bless his heart. Is anyone else feeling this way? I know there’s really not long to go now but the due date still seems a while off when I’m feeling like this!

I’m 38 weeks so further along, not had that with this pregnancy.
However I did with my second and I found the only thing that helped was lying down on my side for 30 mins each time the pain came back xx hope it works for you

Sounds like stretching/growing pains. I get pain around my bra line too, although not all the time. Make sure your bra isn't too tight and give up on the underwire if you haven't already!

Try a heat pack, or ice pack or alternate between the 2. Try and rest! (So annoying when people tell you to rest I know, I'm hopeless at it but your body is in pain and that's a sign you need to slow down.)
