Hello ma'am and welcome.

I completely understand how the pain and other symptoms can result in difficulties during pregnancy, but you also need to understand that this is going to get worse as the main strain you are facing to your back is due to the growing fetus and the increase in size of your breasts. I would recommend a visit to an orthopedician who would review and suggest the best possible management method.

While you are at the doctors, please also get you vitamin B12, vitamin D, serum calcium and blood glycemic profile checked. Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
