I feel broken

[laila 44]

I don't know why but my body is literally falling apart. I have pains everywhere... My back especially is driving me bonkers. I even went to physio which helped but if I sit too long, stand too long etc it hurts soooooo bad. Strange bc prior to pregnancy I was an avid crossfitter in athlete shape! Strong core etc so I don't get why all this back crap. My last 2 pregnancies I didn't experience that so it's strange to me. Sometimes I can't get comfy in bed.... No fun. Anyone else? It's becoming a real problem

Yup! here too. I have back pain and abdominal discomfort from the pregnancy. I'm actually okay standing (not standing STILL, but walking around). But sitting for longer than 15 min or so is rough.

Getting comfortable I've largely given up on! (course I also have a broken rib, so that certainly adds to it! There are only two positions I can be in that aren't don't give me sharp pains from that. And they're not the most comfortable positions pregnancy-wise!)

But even without the rib I think back pain is pretty common.

Figure especially if you're in really good shape, you're not use to having your weight distributed in the way it is now. Boobs and tummy are pulling you forward in a way that your back is like... WHAT??? WHAT??? NOOOO!!! hehe

There are a few stretches (like child's pose, it's a yoga thing) that are REALLY good at reliving that a bit.

Good luck!

Me! Ive been at work today and got home sat down with a wheat bag on my back and can hardly move! Its like my hips seize up and i cant walk properly. I also get stomach pains a lot. Lying in bed on my back hurts a lot i'm then in agony if i try and roll over to my side. I just hope this wont get worse i'm a care worker and need to work as i dont get sick pay!

I don't do any sports but I have no aches.. Not sure what could be causing it. Very strange.
Maybe it is some sort of inflammation rather than skeletal? Or it really just has to do with anatomy and how you carry. Either way I hope you feel better.

Gosh I feel the same an it's my third baby too. I don't know if it's the fact that this time I have a smaller age gap, or my own age or just because it's my third. Feel so ancient lol!

Third baby here aswel and I'm definitely feeling certain pains etc that I didn't feel until later on with my last two. Got loads of ligament pain under my bump and lower back hurts a lot, and even sciatica has started still have just over 22 weeks left off it too argh! Must be to do with the more babies you have I'm guessing xx

Thanks ladies. Also doesn't help that my bump is hugeeeee I look 7 months pregnant. Maybe that's why? In bed now can't get comfy.

Yep!! Im 30 weeks now though but it started around 20 weeks. I look like a cripple the way i walk around. I honestly feel like my baby will just fall out at any minute lol
