Back pain when lying on side!

Charlotte

I am almost 26 and the last 2/3 weeks I’ve been getting severe aching back pain when lying on my side to sleep. I’m also occasionally getting a shooting pain down my left buttock if I sit or stand for to long.

It started off mild but it’s ramped up. My midwife’s referred me for physio but this won’t happen until the 17th August.

I was a side sleeper before pregnancy with no issues so I can only assume it’s the weight of baby. I’m getting barley any sleep even with a pregnancy pillow 😢

Does anyone have any suggestions for what helped them?
