My periods are 4 days late and my lower back has been aching since yesterday. Trying not to get my hopes up but cant stop wondering. Did anyone feel back pain before testing positive?
Yes, back pain can definitely be an early sign due to hormonal changes loosening up your ligaments. However, it is more common in the second and third trimesters as the baby grows. Dont rely on it alone; take a home pregnancy test if your period is late.
Honestly, back pain became my permanent roommate from the day I conceived! It started early on for me as a dull ache. But honestly, wait for a missed period and do a test, because PMS can also cause the exact same backache.
Actually yaar, early pregnancy hormones can make your joints loose, causing back pain. But it's also a classic PMS symptom, so it's hard to tell just from that. Better to do a urine test after your missed period date, simpler and accurate!
I had a sharp lower back ache just a week before my missed period and found out I was pregnant. It felt slightly different from my usual periods pain. Just keep track of your dates and do a home test if you miss your period.
My mother told me that mild backache happens when the uterus starts expanding in early pregnancy. But to be sure, it is best to wait and take a pregnancy test after your missed period. If it's positive, consult your doctor for safe ways to manage the pain.
I kept overanalyzing my mild backache, wondering if it meant I was pregnant or if my periods were coming. It can be super stressful waiting to find out! Try to stay calm, rest your back, and take a pregnancy test once your period is actually delayed.
