    See your doctor, they might be able to refer you for some physio to help ease it. You can take paracetamol whilst pregnant and something like a hot water bottle or warm bath might help. Hope itgets easier for you! xx

    Hi Nell, yes just check it out with your gp or midwife. Its probably your joints and ligaments loosening up because of the pregnancy hormones. Im sure its all ok but get it checked for your own peace of mind. Debs x

    i am suffering with a bad back on and off during my pregnancy, as debbiemc said, i think its your body loosening up for the growing baby. if you know you might have strained it picking something up or whatever get it checked out by GP and go to physio. the thought of carrying a baby and having a bad back freaks me out too. hope it works out ok mate
