I know most pregnancy manuals bang on about getting lower back pain due to pregnancy, but this time round (3rd pregnancy) I have been experiencing upper/mid back pain just above my bra strap line. I only really notice it during night but I am waking from it now. So much pain that I am having to take panadeine to help. Early evening is fine, I go to sleep with no pain, but come 3am it is keeping me awake. I can't lie on either side for too long and the only real comfortable position is on my back which I can't do for too much longer. I am worried that as my pregnancy progresses and my only sleep position options are on my sides that this is going to cause major sleeping problems.

My lower back is fine. No pain at all.

Anyone experienced this?

Thinking of getting regular weekly massages to help but if there is anything else anyone has tried to alleviate this upper/mid back pain I would greatly appreciate the advice!

Thanks
