hi everyone.
ive had back problems since 2008 from an accident. when i found out i was pregnant, from 8 weeks i suffered from a trapped nerve in my back. im now 20 weeks, and its still there. its gotten a lot worse as baby has gotten bigger. as well as having type 1 diabetes, ibs and group b strep, things just seem to not want to work.
my sofa is quite low, and when ive done too much around the house (even just hoovering gets me in agony) its literally a pain in my ass.
i have a bath every 2-3 nights as its great to relax, and realy helps my back. hot water bottles are great too. i just put it behind me during the day when i watch tv or in bed.
if it gets too bad, ask your gp to refere you for physiotherapy. it sucks cuz we can only have paracetamol, but i swear by lots of baths, hot water bottles, and try to keep your feet up as much as you can. xxx
