I am really, really struggling with back/hip pain at the moment. I can barely walk and nothing helps. I actually considered going to the hospital last night as it feels just like my back labour contractions, but it’s a constant ache, not in waves.
I’ve spoken to both my GP and my midwife about it but they both fobbed me off... GP said “haha you know there’s only one cure for that!” and the midwife said “that’s just the normal aches and pains of pregnancy” At what point is it not normal though? Surely being in so much pain I can’t sleep and am limping around all hunched over at 22wks isn’t normal?!
How’s everyone else doing?
Ah God, that sounds awful! You poor thing. What’s the cure? Not being pregnant?!?! Sounds like your GP is super helpful - NAT!!!
It sounds like SPD? Unfortunately I think it is one of those things - sit, lie down and rest as much as possible. Hopefully it should ease up a bit. I’m with you on the backache, I don’t think having a little person who considers you a slave/climbing frame helps too much either! X

@WinterWolf most public hydro pool in Aus are still closed unforunately. But even if you have a private pool near you or a public pool you should give if a try. I know of some ladies who found the water was the most effective way to get relief. My local hospital has a pre-natal hydrotherapy class that is super popular but unfortunately it is not running because of the virus which I'm really disappointed about.
You can go ahead and book into a private physio without a referral. Otherwise definitely call up your GP or antenatal clinic for a referral.
