My lower back has been aching for a few days and im a week away from my period. Cant tell if its just regular PMS or something else. Anyone had back pain as one of their first signs?
Mild lower back ache can be an early symptom for some, a bit like period cramps, and it definitely shows up as the belly grows. But back pain alone isnt a confirmation, lots of things cause it. Take a test if you have a missed period to know for sure.
It can be, but severe or one sided back pain, or back pain with bleeding or fever, is not something to brush off. For normal aches, rest and a warm compress help. But anything intense, please get it checked by your gynac.
I had this dull lower back pain early on and wondered the same. Now in my second trimester it comes and goes. Did anyone find a good way to ease it without medicine?
