Are back pain and stomach ache signs of pregnancy?

Question

Period is 4 din late and since yesterday i have this dull back pain plus thoda stomach cramp also. Im confused if its PMS coming or could be something else na. Anyone felt the same before testing?

Haan na, starting me aaisa lagta hai bilkul. Back pain and light stomach cramping are quite common when the baby is nesting inside. But jyada pain ho toh immediately doctor ko batana, okay? Take care.

Yes, they can definitely be early signs. Just make sure the stomach ache is not severe or accompanied by bleeding.

I totally understand how every little pinch in your stomach makes your heart race. It's such a beautiful yet scary time! These mild aches are often just your body making room for the little one, so hold on sweetie, it will all be worth it.

I felt the exact same thing before my positive test! I had this constant dull backache and mild stomach pull, and I thought my periods were coming. It turned out to be my little miracle, so stay hopeful!

Mere saath bhi yahi hua tha, and today my naughty toddler is running around making me run! Don't worry, mild cramping is totally normal as the uterus stretches. Enjoy this beautiful phase and consult your doc if anything feels off.

Oh god, I totally get why you are feeling anxious right now, every little pain makes us worry so much. Mild cramping and backache can definitely be early signs, but please please don't stress. If the pain gets sharp or severe, just call your gynac to be safe.

Yes, these can be early signs because of hormonal changes, but honestly they can also just be pre-period symptoms. When you have a busy workday it's hard to focus with this confusion, so just take a test if your period is late. It saves so much time and overthinking.
