Is backache a sign of early pregnancy?

Question

My lower back has been paining since 2-3 days and period is also slightly delayed. Im wondering if this could be an early sign or im just overthinking. Did anyone feel kamar pain this early?

Oh I panicked so much thinking it was a miscarriage sign, but it was completely normal! Progesterone relaxes your ligaments, causing that dull ache.

Madhulika Venkatesh · Answer

It's due to progesterone and relaxin softening the joints. Try a warm compress on your back and avoid standing for too long.

I had severe backache early on, and my doctor found my thyroid was also fluctuating. Definitely get your regular blood tests done to be safe.

With PCOS, backache can also mean your period is coming, so don't get your hopes too high yet. Wait for a missed period and then take a test.

Yes, it is very common because of hormonal shifts. Keep your thoughts positive, pray, and rest well.

My doctor at the private hospital was so helpful when I complained of backache. She guided me on correct posture and sleeping on the side. Definitely ask your doctor about safe stretches.

I can't give medical advice, but in my case, a constant dull backache was my very first pregnancy symptom even before my missed period.

Yes, it's a classic early sign. Avoid bending forward too much, don't lift buckets, and use a small cushion for back support when sitting.

Oh yes! My back would hurt, and I'd just sit with a warm bowl of soup or some snacks to feel better. Rest up and pamper yourself.

Dipti Babu · Answer

I am trying to conceive too and have a weird backache today! Praying it's a positive sign for both of us.
