Congratulations! You are going to have a baby!

This is such an important time in your life. Every precious memory should be cherished…. well, the nice ones at least.

Most of us are so excited and overjoyed at the thought of having a baby that the first few weeks fly by in a rush of baby filled adrenaline.

Then, the morning sickness starts to creep in. Okay, fine….. we know this is relatively common and it should subside. But nobody mentioned being constantly tired, bloated and feeling like you are in the Sahara desert one minute and then in Antartica the next. And what about the headaches and unusual bowel habits? When do they go away?

Okay, so you manage to get through the first trimester feeling like a barnacled (don’t forget the acne) beached whale without complaining too much. You put on your best ‘radiant face mask’ and pretend pregnancy is just about the best phase in a woman’s life.

And then just as you have gotten rid of the nasty morning sickness and are happily observing your growing bump, you start noticing this dull aching pain around your lower back and hips. You ask around, only to be told “ everybody gets a back ache when they are pregnant” or “it is only normal with all that added weight.”

You grit your teeth and bear the aches and pains which are now affecting your daily activities. Then one morning you wake up with this sharp, shooting sciatica pain down the back of your leg. You can’t lift your leg. Walking is painful and very nearly impossible. And now it looks as though you are going to be bed or chair-bound! You spend the next few weeks waiting in agony for your due date to arrive to finally ease you of this discomfort.

‘What? This is not what pregnancy should be like,’ you think to yourself.

Well, it shouldn’t be like this! Millions of women go through the aches and pains of pregnancy in silence, afraid of being judged and labeled as weak mothers before motherhood even begins. Some feel it is their duty, as though somehow, the more pain you put up with in pregnancy the better the child will turn out to be. I have even heard of the saying ‘the worse the pregnancy, the easier the labour’. I cannot imagine how suffering from sciatica and back pain is somehow going to make labour any easier!......
