I’m just in so much pain. Like from 24 weeks when I felt baby licking I had severe back pain no amount of exercises, belts and stopping walking helped. I felt relief this week when all of a sudden my pain is better but what has come this week has made me wish the back pain would come back.

The baby is more noticeable kicking/punching moving whatever he is doing. It’s always in my cervix and lightening crotch if that’s what you want to call it is every 2 mins on the hour. It’s after I eat and wakes me up at 4am, I try to get on all floors but no relief - he kicks either in vagina or in the side where my pelvis meets my leg. I have been crying so much and I can’t sleep it’s really getting me down,

I have severe anxiety and hypo birthing was just about working for me to try and handle a water birth but this pain now is making me so anxious it’s making me want to just get a C-section becsuse that way I’ll be getting drugs and it’s not pain directly in vagina. (Yes I know recovery is meant to be more painful)

Someone help with some relief please!

What I have tried

-belly band when walking

-on all fours

- moving position in bed (left side to right)
