I've been having lower back pain for a few days, and my period is also slightly late. Is lower back pain a sign of pregnancy? I'm trying to see if these symptoms are related.
Back pain can happen because of early hormonal shifts, but it's also a very common PMS symptom, especially with PCOS. Try to wait till your missed period before guessing, and then do a home test.
It can be a sign due to hormones softening your ligaments, but make sure you maintain a good posture while sitting. Also, don't miss your calcium-rich foods as weak bones can make back pain worse.
I had back pain and immediately started worrying if it was some complications or PMS! It turned out to be early pregnancy, but if you are anxious like me, just wait for your missed period and test to get peace of mind.
Yes, it is a very common early sign. You can try a warm water bottle or a gentle massage, but if the back pain is very severe or accompanied by any spotting, please see a doctor immediately.
Yes, backache is quite common as your center of gravity starts shifting and hormones loosen joints. Invest in a good ergonomic chair if you work long hours, and do a home test once your period is late.
