so I am approaching my 32nd week of pregnancy. It has been very smooth sailing up to now and I am so grateful for that. Literally no issues apart from the occasional killer heartburn.
My back has started aching on the right side about mid way up. Happens if I spend a lot of time sitting which I do for work. Even driving/ sat having a meal it hurts. Then it just gets worse and worse and won’t go away even when I get home and can lie down. I use paracetamol and hot water bottle but it doesn’t touch it. Anyone has similar and anything works? I know I have 8 weeks left and am gunna struggle 🙈 especially since baby was measuring big so had growth scan and she is 93rd centile. Although I don’t look big she is all baby and I think she’s pressing on things making the pain worse.
To go with the back pain I often get a pain in ribs on the same side as back pain so I can’t lean forward to help the back pain as it makes the rib pain worse!
