Just 7 weeks and my lower back is paining like before periods. I thought back pain comes later na, in bigger months. Is this normal so early? Bit worried.
Yaar, don't stress too much, back pain is super common even in early days because of the progesterone hormone loosening your ligaments. Try not to lift heavy things. But if it's very severe, just check with your doc, okay?
I had quite a bit of lower back pain in my first trimester too! It made me so anxious early on. Did anyone else also feel this so early? Resting with a pillow behind my back helped me.
I am trying to conceive and have been reading up on early symptoms. A lot of women say mild lower back pain is one of the first signs they noticed. Hope it's a good sign for you!
Yes, it is common, but don't rush to buy expensive maternity pillows or belts just yet. A normal firm pillow from home placed behind your lower back works perfectly fine. If pain becomes severe or you see any spotting, go straight to the clinic.
I'm planning my pregnancy too and always wonder about this. Is it a dull ache or more of a sharp pain? I heard light stretching helps, but do keep an eye on it.
