So sorry to hear your'e not well chuck. I had some bad backache when i was 16 weeks up to about 20weeks. I wentto my first antenatal class then and menitoned it. They said if it persisted I could go for free physio there at the hospital. Thankfully it went away but yours sounds much worse now. I'd go to your midwife and ask to be referred. They told me they have lots of supports and things to help not just exercises so they may help. I have a lot of pain in my feet if i walk for more than 5 mins and its worse if i stand still. Not much i can do about that i suppose other than take it easy but don't do much sitting normally so might take a bit of practice! Let me know how you get on . x

hello, im 27 weeks also and have started having bad pains in my legs but its mostly at night when im trying to sleep. its like a burning pain in both legs from the hips down. I spoke to my midwife about it and was told it was normal as your muscles are growing and the extra weight is weighing down on your joints.
a friend of mine is 24 weeks and shes been having trouble walking and has just been amittted to hospital with blood cots in her legs.
I dont get it when i walk so i would go get it checked out, even if its nothing. you can put your mind at rest then.
hope you feel better soon xx
