I'll be 30wks tomorrow with baby #2 & I've been dealing with horrible back pain for months now & it just keeps getting worse. I think I have a slipped/herniated disc (bc it's causing my right leg to go numb & it also feels like my butt bone is broke when I sit down). I wanna mention it to my Dr & see what can be done, but I'm so sick of him telling me that everything is "normal" when I know it's not.... It's so frustrating & I'm constantly in so much pain that Idk what to do anymore :/
I had chronic back pain prior to pregnancy. Two herniated discs, disc degeneration and a few other issues. I knew pregnancy would irritate it all but had no idea i would be in SO much pain. My midwife and doctor both came to a decision to put me on medication for pain as they believed the benefit outweighed the risk and wanted me to have quality of life. I also use the belly support band, which does sometimes seem to help. I've lived on my heating pad and done tons of stretching. Unfortanutely it's only gotten worse the bigger I get but there are definitely options. I would definitely talk to your doctor, and even if it is something he considers "normal" pregnancy issues, doesn't mean there is nothing that can be done. hope you feel better
