KATE, ... Just a suggestion ... When I was preg I could get a 30min physio treatment on my sore shoulders & back for ' Free ' providing I was going through the ante-natal in the same public hospital ...

I just needed a referal from my midwife or OB (if you didn't it was $10 for the 30min session ... still so cheap )

They would get you to pop your preg belly into a huge donut like pillow ... did it about once per week for the last couple mths of my pregnancy ... right up to a week before bub was due

Highly recommend it on the upper shoulders too !!!

Oh, I was in heaven - felt great !!! ... and the staff are all woman only working with pregnant woman !!!!
