I started having mild back pain around week 8, and it made me so nervous thinking if it's normal. Did anyone else get it this early? It got better once I started using a small cushion behind my back.
I had mild backache from the 2nd month itself, and my saas told me it's because the body is preparing. She made me sit with proper support and avoided letting me bend down. It really helped.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, back pain is common from the first trimester itself due to hormonal changes. It helps to track when it happens and do mild stretches if your app suggests safe ones.
It can start as early as the first few weeks due to progesterone changes relaxing your ligaments. Please treat yourself very gently and rest as much as you need, you have come a long way. Sending you lots of love and strength.
When I had back pain early on, my mom would make me lie down on my side with a pillow between my knees. It's just the body's way of adjusting. Being at my parents' place really helped me get that much-needed rest.
