Hi ladies, I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my second child, with my first after 20 weeks I had a sore back but I managed to cope with just heat packs.

Unfortunately this time my back ache has started from about 12 weeks and is progressively getting worse, it hurts to sit, bend down to do even simple tasks like put my socks on or change my LOs nappy. It is all in my lower back. Heat packs aren’t helping. I’m a stay at home mum, but I’m grinding to a halt, which is beginning to affect me mentally. The midwife has mentioned going to see a physio, have any of you experienced this pain? does seeing a pregnancy physio help? Any help and advice will be gratefully received as I just want to stop feeling so useless because of my reduced movement .
