can't get comfortable!!!

[Tick-Tock]

I'm having a real problem getting comfortable...

If I sit down I feel like I can't breathe... If I stand up I can breathe but my back hurts.... I only feel OK lying down and that's only for short periods, then my hips hurt...

If I'm like this now, what am I going to be like during 3rd Tri??????

awwww i can DEFINATLY relate to you! i have been having awful problems. i used to love my bed soooo much (we have a memory foam materess... bliss) but at the moment i just cant get comfortable either, i'm suprised my OH has not chucked me out of bed. hehe! i am suffering from awful backache (being a nursery nurse dosen't exactly help either).....
is there anything i can take for my backache... any magical remedys that will cure it... would having a hot water bottle on by back help??? awwww so wish i could smother myself in heatrub

hope you feel more comfortable soon my lovely!

to you both. Me too.

I can't sit for long or stand as i get bad back ache. If I sneeze my ribs really hurt and I just can't get comfortable at night either, and last night LO kicked all night so haven't slept well.

I find a hot water bottle against my my back does help when sitting

I've had days like that too, I found the best thing for my back was getting OH to rub it while I was laying on my side, he even does it without needing to be asked now (I'm getting him trained!) I also found that if I'm uncomfortable getting baby to shift position tends to help a bit, most of the time if I just rub my bump for a while she'll be good and shift but if she plays up and stays put rocking usually does it.
Hope you find a way to make yourself more comfortable soon!

Try and lift ur legs up on a pillow or a cushion while ur laying for at least 15 minutes relax and close ur eyes.
u can get really nice leg pillows from pharmacies , they aren't made from pregnant women though they r for those with back problems.
believe me it makes a difference.

I feel like my pregnancy has gone pretty well so far, but the last week or so my hips have been hurting really bad especially at night. I've tried putting a pillow between my legs and under my bump, but nothings worked yet. I worry too about what it will be like when I get further along. I'm planning on working until 28 weeks, but I'm wondering if I'll make it.

Thanks for all your messages... I've had a good play with my office chair and have managed to find a position where I am comfortable for about 15 mins.. then I get up and have a walk around before sitting down again!!

ng. I'm planning on working until 28 weeks, but I'm wondering if I'll make it.

I'm planning on working til my due date!!!! Although for most of today I keep thinking that seems unlikely!!!

Sorry....I meant to say 38 weeks. I wish I could stop at 28 weeks! That's only 2 weeks from now. Although I would probably be extremely bored after a week or so.

i'm worried i wont make it to my due date working either, i spend a lot of time sat down but even thats not comfy, and if im stood up on shop floor i've started feeling really ill.
Looks like im nto as invincible as i thought
