Upper back/rib pain..ouch!

[sugartea]

I am in absolute agony and can't sleep. All I want to do is cry! I am 34+3 weeks and my back sort of just above my waist is so painful. I can't sit or lie down comfortably and nothing is helping. I've been on all fours for ages trying to maybe shift the baby but it's not working!!

Any tips?! It hurts so so badly

I had a similar problem. Sitting down made it worse. The one thing that brought some relief was standing facing a wall and putting my hands high over my head on the wall and then leaning in. Sort of like a downward dog against the wall, but you probably don’t need to hinge so much at the waist as the pictures online. And put your hands higher too.

It still bothers me sometimes but DC4 broke a rib (of mine) in utero apparently.

A picture is worth a thousand words
