Is back pain is sign of pregnancy?

Question

Having this dull kamar pain since 2 days and period is also due this week. Got me wondering if this could be an early sign. Did anyone feel back pain before they tested positive?

Oh my god, same here! I am 6 weeks pregnant now and my lower back has been hurting like crazy. Is anyone else feeling this so early, or is it just me?

Hey! Yes, it can be an early symptom because of progesterone, but it's also very common PMS. Don't stress too much and wait for your missed period to test. Take some rest and drink warm water!

Yes dear, early pregnancy hormones can make your ligaments relax, causing some backache. Try to sit with a cushion for support and rest well.

It can be a sign, but usually it happens a bit later as the belly grows. I had it too, but mild prenatal yoga and daily walks really helped after my gynac gave me the green light. Don't start any exercises without asking your doc first though.

Back pain can happen, but don't assume pregnancy just based on this as it's very common before periods too. Keep doing your daily routine but avoid long hours of standing. Wait for your period date, do a quick test, and plan accordingly.

I have heard from my bhabhi that mild backache can happen because of hormonal changes early on. We are also trying, so I am very careful about not lifting heavy things just in case. Let's hope it's good news for you!
