My period is a few days late and since 2 days my lower back and hips are aching a lot. Could this be an early sign or just normal pms? thoda confused, anyone experienced this before testing positive?
This hip pain is normal, but do mention it during your regular doctor checkups. I had thyroid issues which made muscle pain worse, so getting regular blood work and doctor follow-up is very important to manage these pains.
Yes, it is a very common early sign because the bones start adjusting. My mother used to suggest a warm oil massage, but always check with your doctor before applying heat or pressure. Let your gynac know if the pain becomes too severe to bear.
I just delivered last month and yes, that hip pain is so real! It started in my first trimester itself as the pelvis started widening. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees, it really helped me get through the nights.
While back and hip pain are very common pregnancy symptoms, sometimes severe pain can indicate other issues. Please track how intense it is and consult your gynac to rule out any complications. Better to be safe.
Haha, welcome to the club! I'm in my 3rd trimester now and my hips crack every time I get off the bed. It definitely starts early and just keeps getting 'better'. Keep a cushion behind your back, it helps a bit!
I had terrible lower back pain early on and immediately started worrying if something was wrong with the baby. But honestly, it's just the body expanding. Just rest as much as you can and try not to overthink every ache.
Back pain is so common, but instead of spending money on expensive physiotherapy or specialized belts early on, try simple home pillows for support. We have to save up for delivery costs and vaccinations, so plan your expenses wisely!
Oh absolutely, my back and hips felt like they belonged to a 90-year-old before I even got my positive test! Hormones relax your joints so your body can stretch. Buy a pregnancy pillow now, you will thank me later!
My pregnancy app mentioned that the hormone 'relaxin' loosens your ligaments, which causes back and hip pain early on. It's a very common symptom tracked by many moms-to-be. Try pelvic tilts if your doctor says it's okay.
Getting hip pain is very common because your body is preparing for childbirth. Even after my C-section, I realized how much strain my back had taken during those months. Please rest well, avoid heavy lifting, and let your body heal gradually.
