my lower back has been aching a lot lately, especially by evening when im 6 months along. cant sit in one place comfortably. is this just normal pregnancy stuff or something i should mention to my gynac?
Totally normal, hormones loosen the joints and the extra weight pulls on your back. Gentle stretches, supportive footwear and warm compress work well. I went through it both times, its very common.
Yes very normal, as the bump grows your posture shifts and the lower back takes the load. Mine was worst in the last trimester. A good pillow and not standing too long really helped me through.
Mild back pain is normal but if its severe, rhythmic, or comes with cramps or bleeding, please call your gynac as it could be something else. Also burning urine with back pain can be a UTI. When in doubt, get checked.
