What could this be?*UPDATED*

[Jaidy]

Since last night ive had a pain really low down in my back, so low down its in between the top of my butt cheeks

It doesnt feel like cramp or anything and its not bruised cos ive checked, it just feels really sore and tender especially when I press it...ouch!

It eased off earlier after I had a snooze but now its back, any ideas what this could be?

If its not gone by tomorrow morning im gonna go to the docs and just get it checked out.

Thanks in advance gorgeous girlies xxx

sciatica (SP)?? Usually where back joins butt and the pain can run down your leg. Used to get it if I was standing too long at work. I'd sit down then when I tried to get up I'd be bent over like an old woman in pain.

V.common in pregnancy. Infac the lower part of my back aches every afternoon but not really painful.

Hot baths used to do it for me, rest as well. (Any excuse to put our feet up!)

You mean your tail bone?
Could be a trapped nerve?

eta - no hot baths when pregnant!

could it be sciatica? you got a nerve around that area and you can also get pain down your legs with sciatica. thats my only suggestion hope everything is ok xx

Ok found this panic over:

Surely common sense tells you that a bath that makes you faint and sick or burns as you get is it erm. . . too hot!

I have this too and it's painful when bending, lifting and sitting from lying down. My midwife says it's where the pelvic joints get 'too relaxed' with the baby hormones. If it continually gets painful you can have physio from about 20weeks. Hope this helps, just try not to strain yourself

All the pregnancy books tell you to just have a warm bath, none of those where you cant put your bum in for 5 mins ones and for good reason, people used to take hot baths to have abortions there are lots of truths in old wives tales.

sciatica usually travels down the bum and down the leg, if its just the tail bone have you knocked it? And do you have to hold the chair arms and take the weight off before you stand up? I live with this pain daily, you get used to it.

Oh I think Im safe then...I call a warm bubbley bath a 'hot bath' haha

 

[HollyHobby]

i like scalding baths, those where you squat and your ankles are red raw

Me too! A 'hot bubbley' is a warm bath in my house!

Hey girls.

Well I went to the Doctors today and like Carly and Mama 2 Be have said its all to do with the softening of my pelvic ligaments and my sciatic nerve. My GP said that its more pronounced because its my second pregnancy and everything has already stretched. She said because its started so early im probably going to be a sufferer, so she has booked me in for physio, got my first appointment in 2 weeks, so we will see if that helps! Its been blimmin achy tonight!!!!

I've had a lot of back ache with this pregnancy too, I even posted about it a while back. It doesnt help that we have our child to carry around/bend down too all day as well!

[Mama 2 Be]

Oh you poor thing! Least they are actually doing something about it mine would probably tell me to go away and stop imagining it!

Hope the pain eases a bit for you.

 

[HollyHobby]

what is spd exactly? And because i've already damaged my tail bone will it mean it'll be a problem?

 

[rusks]

aww sorry hun sounds like its going to be a challenging PG for you, it must be another boy all the trouble he is causing already
