Im just 7 weeks and my kamar is already aching so much, thought back pain comes later na. Is this normal this early or should i be worried? pls tell me ur experience.
I felt this exact same backache around week 6 and got so worried! It felt like my period was coming, but my doc told me it's just the uterus expanding. Pregnancy changes our bodies so beautifully, hang in there!
Don't worry, a mild backache is very normal as your pelvic bones and muscles adjust for the pregnancy. Just avoid lifting heavy things and try to sit with proper back support. If the pain gets too sharp, do tell your gynac.
Oh, the early days are so tough with all the hormonal changes! The hormone relaxin loosens your ligaments, which causes that annoying backache. Trying a warm compress and resting on your side can bring some relief.
At my hospital, the physiotherapist gave us a full session on posture because backache starts early due to center of gravity shifting. I suggest asking your hospital staff or doctor for safe pregnancy stretches during your next visit.
Early backache can just be your body stretching, but because of my past miscarriage, I am always very cautious. If the backache is severe or accompanied by any spotting or cramping, please contact your doctor immediately to be safe.
I totally understand how uncomfortable that early backache can be, dear. Your body is doing such amazing work growing a little life, and those shifting hormones really pull on your lower back. Rest as much as you can.
