Namaste everyone, I've been having lower back pain lately. Is lower back pain a sign of pregnancy, especially in the early stages? I'm trying to figure out if it's related.
My doctor at the clinic explained that progesterone relaxes your ligaments, which causes backache. Definitely mention it at your first appointment so they can guide you on pelvic posture.
Oh I panicked so much thinking something was wrong when my back started hurting early on! Turns out it's very normal because of hormones, but do check with your doctor if it's severe.
Haha, wait till you reach the third trimester, back pain becomes your permanent roommate! It definitely can be an early sign, but don't stress and just wait for your test date.
Yes, it can be a sign, but try a warm compress or gentle stretching to see if it eases. But if you have any severe cramping or spotting, please contact your doctor immediately.
