Back aching

[Hazel]

Hi All

Need a little advice on my bad back. What started out as a little niggle 2 weeks ago is now full blown bad back. I had to go into town today and stand in a queue for 10 minutes which was agony. I've also started walking with a bit of a limp as it's painful on my right hip sometimes.
I asked the doctor about it and he said it's normal as it's the ligaments and will probably get worse before it gets better . Surely it shouldn't hurt this much????

ive been suffering from this, i cant sleep at night

i put a post up and sum1 (sherlock i think but pregnancy brain cant confirm lol) suggested using a birthing ball

basically i hang over it on all fours (oh says i look like a performing seal) but its supposed to encourage the baby to move off your back

and i really think it has worked, i still get back ache but not as much or as bad, give it a go
