Back Ache

[Suzie80]

I am 15 weeks into my second pregnancy and am suffering from real bad back ache at the bottom, it hurts when i move my legs and especially when i pick up my 2 year old. Does anyone have any advice?? I suffered from SPD late on in my last pregnancy, could it be that earlier? XXX

I had something very similar, midwife said it wasn't SPD just backache and the best way to deal with it is to use heat pads to relieve the pain and try to avoid picking up your two yr old too much (I also have a two yr old) and particularly avoid lifting and twisting. Mine did get a lot better a couple of weeks ago (now 28 wks)

Hi, i have the similar but only really hurts when i sneeze! or when i pick my 3 yr old up. I find it at its worst when i lie down. Cannot lie on my back and wake during the night as it is so sore. Spoke to midwife and she has reffered me for physio. She thinks it could be sciatica as it goes down my leg.
