Back ache and work
Anyone else really struggling with working and back ache? I’m getting really bad pains in my lower back on the right side and I’m having to call in sick to work quite a bit. I’ve got 7 weeks left until maternity leave but don’t know how I’m meant to cope until then🥲

I'm exactly the same! Had awful back pain for the last month or so, to the point that I went to the GP and was told it's likely sciatica. I've been signed off for 3 weeks but absolutely dreading going back as I know it will get bad again once I'm not resting. I have been referred to prenatal physio which has helped, make sure to ask your midwife xx
I will say this to my midwife tomorrow hopefully be able to give me more tips xx
Find out your maternity physio, I've just been referred to hydrotherapy for my back and sciatica and have some amazing exercises to do.

I feel you, yes I am only comfortable in my dressing gown in bed! I have never had so many sick days since being pregnant! I have 8 weeks till my maternity leave and I’m dreading how I’m going to make it!!! My midwife told me to take paracetamol and put hot water bottle on my back kind of helping!!! X
