I'm in my early pregnancy, and I've been experiencing some lower back pain. Is this a common symptom for other women during the first trimester? I'm trying to understand what's normal.
Oh god, lower back pain was literally my first symptom, yaar! Actually my doc told me it's because of the progesterone hormone relaxing the ligaments. I used a pregnancy pillow while sleeping and it really helped, but please check with your doctor if it's too sharp.
I had this during my early weeks and immediately messaged my care coordinator at the hospital. My obstetrician reassured me it's normal but advised against taking any painkillers without asking them. Definitely call your hospital's helpline if the pain makes it hard to stand.
I also had this in my 6th week and honestly I panicked so much thinking something was wrong. It turned out to be normal stretching, but please watch out for other signs. If you have any cramps or pink discharge along with the pain, pls contact your hospital right away just to be safe.
Having gone through this twice, let me tell you that back pain starts early because your posture changes. Make sure you don't sit in one position for too long and use a small cushion behind your back. But if the pain is severe or radiating, don't wait and consult your doc.
Yes, it is very common, even I had it in my first trimester. My MIL told me to apply warm sesame oil, but I made sure to ask my doctor first if it was safe. She said mild pain is fine due to hormones, but if it gets severe or you see any spotting, please call your gynac immediately.
Haan behen, mujhe bhi shuruat me bahut peeth dard hota tha. Humare yahan kehte hain ki shareer badal raha hai isliye hota hai. Bas seedhe baitho aur thoda aaram karo, par agar dard bahut badh jaye toh doctor ko dikhana mat bhoolna.
Haan na, initial days me peeth me bahut khichav hota hai. My mother-in-law used to give me warm water to drink and told me not to lift heavy things ghar pe. Just take plenty of rest and see how it goes, simple pain is normal.
