Thanks Everyone you lovely kind words they me alot to me. Im actually feeling ok with it at the moment. I have got a little sad when i have seen a few baby girls but i think im doing ok.

Well i have totally injured my back yesterday and i can no longer walk, im in so much pain I have done a little bit of heavy lifting that i shouldn't have done, but yesterday after picking my boys up from school i went to sainsburys doing a little bit of shopping. My back was aching pushing the trolley but when i went to fasten the seatbelt for DS1 i twisted and got an almighty massive pain in my back, i screamed. Since, i have been in agony when lying, sitting and walking.
Been to dr's this morning and now on co-codamol as paracetamol not doing anything but im still in agony.

Im sure the doctors dont understand im a mummy to 3 boys and tomorrow DH is back at work and i need to be back doing everything, i really dont think thats going to happen tho i really dont know what im going to do. I keep crying im in so much pain

Oh, HappyLea - I'm so sorry about your back! I had a bad back I jury a year ago - I fell on the stairs and got a contusion on my sacrum. It was miserable! I really hope it gets better soon. Can your dh take a day or two off of work to help you at home?

Oh Happy Leah I am also so sorry about your back. When 7 months pregnant with DS#2 I was washing my hands at the sink and leaned over in a weird way and then felt a *pOp*.. OMG just excruciating back pain after that! I had to go to the ER, I was so afraid I would lose him. But there wasn't much they could do but give me fluids. I rested in bed until I felt better. It did pass, and DH helped out a lot during that time! I hope your DH can help you out a lot more.

How horrible HappyLea. When it rains, it pours hey. I wonder if there is an anti-inflammatory that is safe to take during pregnancy? That would help with the pain, inflammation and spasms. And icing the area would help reduce the inflammation. Valium (diazepam) is also wonderful for back spasms but again you would need to check about the safety and get a script for that. It always seems to be that one small twist and then it is all over. Just so easy to do. My back was crap with DS1 from 20 weeks onwards. I hurt it while lifting a heavy patient at work. I remember lying on my back on the bedroom floor telling DH not to touch me. I had to move in my own time as I knew what hurt. When you are able to do things again, make sure you don't bend forward. Get down on your knees to dress children, make beds, whatever it is. I really hope it settles very soon for you. We know how miserable it is.

I wonder if you could do some icy hot cream or something. I can't remember if I did or not

[HappyLea]

Oh it sure is miserable. Unfortunately Dr said no to any imflammatory during pregnancy. So just on pain killer and she said i can use hot water bottle also. She was going to give me a cream to rub in my back but then she said no as it had inflammatory in it.

DH is a police officer so its hard for him to just get time off at short notice, but he is going to have to do something. As i cant walk never mind do school run and run round after the 2 boys not at school tomorrow.

I can't believe just a stupid twist/stretch of my body doing DS seatbelt completely put my back out. The pain killer has taken alittle of the pain away and at least im not crying but it is still hurting bad. Hopefully it will just ease soon and i will be taking it easy as not to put it out again.

Im back ladies and we are having 4 i so wish i hadnt got my hopes up for a but i did and they have truely been shattered

He had his feet under his bottom most of the scan and tech found it difficult to get a shot, then he put his hand in the way also but finally she got the shot. I will post it very soon.

I've hurt my back too so been taking it easy the past few days, I got sciatica aswell so am pretty miserable especially in the evening, got an appointment coming up to be referred for physiotherapy. It is so hard to look after my kids at the moment, lifting them into the trolley for shopping is the worst.
