Is back pain common in first trimester of pregnancy?
Im around 8 weeks and my lower back has been aching since few days. I thought back pain comes later when belly grows, so this early is confusing me thoda. anyone else had it in the beginning?
I stayed at my moms place early on and she would give me a gentle warm oil back rub which helped so much. Mild back ache is normal in the first months. Just rest well and avoid sitting in one position too long.
Once my doctor cleared me, gentle prenatal stretches really helped my early back pain. Strengthening the back a little made a difference. But always get clearance before starting any exercise.
Yes its quite common, your body is adjusting and hormones loosen the joints. I had mild back pain both times in early weeks. Warm compress and good posture help, no need to panic.
