I'm having some back pain. How can I tell if my back pain is an early sign of pregnancy or just a symptom of my period approaching? They feel so similar sometimes.
I panicked thinking my severe back pain was a sign of my period coming, but it turned out I was pregnant! It's completely normal to feel this way. Just wait for your due date and do a kit test.
It honestly feels very similar, so it's hard to tell just from back pain. Try using a warm water bag for comfort. If your period is delayed by a few days, just do a home pregnancy test to be sure.
Back pain can happen in both cases due to hormonal changes. Since I had complications earlier, I always recommend checking with your doctor if the pain is severe or accompanied by any spotting.
Don't stress your mind trying to guess the difference, dear. Back pain is very common before periods and also in early pregnancy. Just take some rest, drink warm water, and wait for your missed period to test.
