I'm in my early pregnancy, just a few weeks along, and I've started having some mild back pain. Is it normal for back pain to occur even in early pregnancy, or is it usually something that happens later? I'm a bit concerned.
Yes, back pain can start very early because progesterone softens the ligaments in your body. But since IVF pregnancies require extra care, please make sure the pain isn't accompanied by cramping. Stay rested and don't hesitate to message your doctor if you feel uneasy.
Actually yaar, my back pain started before I even got my positive test! I thought my periods were coming, but it was just early pregnancy. Honestly, try to avoid lifting heavy buckets or bags, it makes the pain way worse.
Yes, it is very common as your center of gravity starts shifting slightly. Doing gentle stretches and keeping yourself active helps keep the muscles strong. Stay positive, eat well, and your body will adapt beautifully to these changes!
I had back pain right from my second month, and it only increased as the baby grew. Try to maintain a good posture even when sitting on the sofa and use a pillow behind your back. It really helps later when you are breastfeeding and spending hours sitting.
Absolutely, your pelvic ligaments are starting to loosen up to prepare for birth, so a dull ache is very common. Stop wearing heels immediately and don't stand for too long at a stretch. A warm compress can do wonders for relief.
