This isn’t encouraging at all but I’m just letting you know you aren’t alone- i am 26 weeks pregnant and have been signed off work since 23 weeks. I have a 21 month old who I can’t currently look after on my own as I can’t really walk so she is in nursery/with family 4 days a week and then my partner helps me the other days, im on crutches and can’t really get around and I have to be rolled out of bed in the morning by my partner. I have pelvic physio (honestly I don’t find it helpful at all for me but some say it works wonders), a hall to sit on, a support band and pain killers for the days it’s unbearable. My best thing has been a hot water bottle that is in like a strap that goes around my waist- it’s supposed to be for period pains but I turn it around so it’s on my back and really low and that is the only thing that gives me any release! I hope you start to feel a bit better soon!
@Amber I’m in the same boat. My job is the same too.. which band did you buy? 🥹 my manager told me today I can only sit for 2-3 mins at a time.
That's crazy!! What job do you have?? I have this one https://amzn.eu/d/4h2ENHX xx
Think I may need to get this ⬆️ pain is getting more intense especially in the mornings, I’m lucky I’m not working at the moment I went on maternity leave quite early due to the job involving heavy lifting
I did have it quite bad but it seems to be a bit better currently. I bought a band on amazon which helped. My job requires a lot of bending and lifting which I think caused it. I also feel bad for my little girl, she's almost 3 so does understand why I can't do certain things. Just know it's not forever and it won't be long before you'll be able to move properly again. Take paracetamol and try the band. Also yoga stretches can help xxx
