My wife has been suffering for the past two weeks with pretty severe back pain, not the typical 'lower back pain' but an agonising dull pain in her upper back, to the point where she can not sit for a few seconds without it hurting and her having to stand again. (annoying enough as that is she is getting very upset by it) according to the doctor this is quite normal... She is 28 weeks.
After most of today she managed to sit for ten minutes before calling it quits and needing to walk or lay down and she spent most of the day inseperable from her wheat bag!
We have been getting so used to this that it isn't even a worry anymore.
Tonight she woke me up i assumed it may be her back again but it wasn't. She started getting swelling in her knees yesterday and a dull ache when bedtime arrives, but tonight it was more than that, she told me her knee felt really hot, i checked and it did... A few moments later her knee was hurting a little, within a few minutes she was in absolute agony, so bad in fact that she pretty much went in to shock, she was shaking and crying over the pain (abd of course i couldn't do anything...) i warmed up her wheat bag and covered her up which seemed to help after a few minutes... But my worry is wether this is yet another LOVELY pregnancy symptom - or if i should be concerned about something more serious? Needless to say we're both first timers so haven't really got a clue!
I will probably speak to the doctor tomorrow if i can just to see what he has to say but it would be nice to know what you think.
