I'm 37 weeks with DC2. I have struggled with a bulging lumbar disc in this pg since approx 24 weeks. In the last 2 weeks the pain has disappeared and I was able to get around without crutches and needed no painkillers.
Last night I had a coughing fit for approx 20 mins. Upon waking this morning, I have been in agony but it's not my back. I have an intense searing pain at the front of my pelvis. Agony. Just agony. I struggled to get out of bed and up off the toilet. I have used the crutches today, put on a support belt and taken 8/500mg co-codamol.
Spoke to midwife this evening after crying for an hour. She advised the painkillers, birth ball work and seeing GP first thing tomorrow for 30/500mg co-codamol.
I feel like I'm not coping today. This pain, the heat, heartburn and the fucking head cold I've now had for 5 bloody weeks.
Any ideas what this pain is? How to relieve it? Any help or advice (or handholding ) very welcome.
