Hi Sarah,

I have had a tough pregnancy too, (i have had two weeks that i actually enjoyed) so i empathise with you. I currently have a DRAM, which is seperation of the tummy muscles. The pain is pretty nasty when i am not leaning back resting.

I saw a physio who gave me a Tubigrip belly band (an elasticised tubal bandage that goes from under my breasts to my hips). Wearing this helps enormously, and means i can get around without hugging a pillow. They also showed me some exercises that can help.

Have you seen a physio? I brought the pain up with the midwife and physician, but neither gave me any suggestions of what it was or what i could do. The physio diagnosed it within a few minutes of me explaining and her examining me.

Hope you feel better soon,

take care,

Kate
