Back injury at 16 weeks

[TAV1983]

Just want to whinge and moan!! I'm on holiday in Portugal and on day 2 I managed to put my back out! God knows how, I was dicking about in the pool doing leg exercises and when I got out it was tender and it's been downhill from there. Cannot get comfortable, walking like a duck as I can't straighten up and as my belly is getting bigger I feel like a complete frump! Feel sorry for the baby inside as I feel miserable! Every sneeze is agony and having to get up in the night to pee is not helping 😂 Kind of ruined our last baby-free holiday! I feel like a right moaning cow!
Anyone done the same during pregnancy? Is osteopathic treatment and acupuncture safe? I think I'm gonna need it! 😩😩😩xx

I'd recommend osteopathy, they're more limited in what manipulation they can do but it deffo will help! Have you googled pg safe exercises for back pain? Sorry that's really rough when you're on holiday! x

I feel for you.

I did this with my daughter and it was agony. I have an underlying. Problem with my back and SI joint and it's been hurting me since January this year. I'm going to find a chiropractor this time as osteopath hasn't helped me and I see the physio regularly anyway.

It's awful and limitations on painkiller are a real bummer in this situation.

Hope you can find some relief! X
