Backache and joint ache/weakness at 23weeks

Does anyone experience the same symptoms? I’m finally feeling better in the 2nd trimester but I have backaches, especially if I sit / drive and I will need to stop moving or move extremely slowly to minimize the dull pain. Getting out of bed may also trigger the ache.. My hip and knee joint seems to hurt too. 😅 I feel quite weak and old.. which I’m not quite used to. Just wondering if any other mommies have the same symptoms.

Hi, I have it lower backache or lower tummy pain at the start of 3rd trim. After meal, I can’t even walk longer than maybe around 15mins. Doctor say is caused baby get heavier. So gynae advice me to take a rest when I in pain or aching. If u do have swollen feet like me at the later stage, soak your feet in warm water. For me, I add in epsom salt to the water, I got it online from shopee.
