My periods are not due yet but since 2-3 days i have this dull upper back pain near shoulders. We are trying so my mind is going everywhere haha. Is this even a thing in early days ya im just overthinking?
It could be, but honestly, it's best to check with your gynac first. When I mentioned this to my hospital's physiotherapy team, they gave me proper posture tips and confirmed it's quite common.
I am also feeling a bit of upper back stiffness this week, hoping it's a positive sign for us. Did you get your missed period yet? Wishing you all the best.
Yes, it actually can be! Your body is preparing for a beautiful journey and muscles are already adjusting. Keep moving gently and stay positive, your body is stronger than you think.
I had terrible upper back pain in my first few weeks and still get it sometimes now in my 2nd trimester. Did anyone else also feel it this early? It makes me worry a bit if I'm resting enough.
Early hormonal surges relax your ligaments, which can definitely cause that upper back pull. Try to maintain a good posture while sitting. If the pain is severe or doesn't go away with rest, just drop a message to your doc.
My mother told me to apply warm sesame oil, but I made sure to check with my doctor during my visit. It's quite common due to body changes, but always ask your gynac if it's too uncomfortable.
Oh god, I panicked so much thinking something is wrong when my upper back started aching out of nowhere! Actually, it turned out to be completely normal due to hormonal changes. It settled down soon, so don't stress yourself.
Same here, my tracker app flagged backaches as a common symptom around week 5 or 6 because of progesterone rising. I logged it daily and it eventually got better. Try using a good body pillow.
