Hello!

Just wanted to come on here and look for some advice as everything I do it's not doing anything!
The last 3 days I have had awful back pain in the middle/lower part of my back, I cannot get comfortable at all, also a lot of pressure - more so on my bladder! I can't lay down without the pain/ sit! You name it!

Does this sound like baby is preparing to come? Definitely the hardest part so far! Xx

Definitely sounds as though baby could be getting into position. Have you tried taking some paracetamol? Hopefully the excitement of meeting your baby soon will help get you through!

@SouthwestSis Aww hopefully! My ribs are absolute agony too! Can't get comfortable at all! Yes I've tried but they don't seem to do much! Hopefully not long now xxx

I'm 38+4 today with my second. I've got the back ache and period like cramps so I'm hoping she is getting ready to make her appearance. Its been a couple of days since your post, anything happened?
