update on back ache

[LauraKC]

feeling a bit sorry for myself. went docs this mornig as i keep waking up in the night with terrible back ache, back ceases up and then i cant get into any comfy position and ultimately cant sleep so have to get up (hurts just to lie there). Doc said the problem is just muscular (as opposed to anything sinister ie water infection, prem labour etc) and there is nothign they can do.

have constant rib pains where baby keeps moving and diggin in and back feels like its goign to give way. willi be like this til the end??!

Have you tried different sleeping positions and adding more pillows? Heat pads can help with the back pain - as can a gentle massage if your OH is amenable! Good luck!
