Im 5 weeks and already feeling thoda kamar pain on and off. Isn't it too early for back pain? or does it start from the beginning for some? just wondering if this is normal.
I totally understand how exhausting that constant backache can be, my dear. For me, it started late in the first trimester itself because of hormonal changes relaxing the ligaments. Please rest as much as you can and ask your husband for a gentle warm massage, you deserve all the care.
Honestly, don't stress too much about when it "should" start, babe! Some girls get it in the first trimester itself due to progesterone hormones, while others feel it only at the end. Just use a hot water bag or a comfy pillow and take it easy.
My back pain started around the 5th month as my belly grew, which is quite normal. Just make sure you aren't gaining weight too rapidly, and keep a track of your sugar intake. Eating a balanced diet and doing mild stretches helped me handle both my gestational diabetes and backache.
As a working mom who sat at a desk all day, my back pain started around week 20. I highly recommend getting an ergonomic chair cushion and taking quick 5-minute walking breaks every hour. It really saves your spine and fits easily into a busy schedule.
For me, the mild backaches started around the 18th week. Since I have a history of PCOS and was extra careful about pelvic pressure, I didn't take any chances and always used a pregnancy pillow for support. Don't worry too much, just maintain a good posture and take rest.
Haha, with twins, my back pain started almost the second I got my positive test! Carrying double the weight means your back is going to complain early on, usually by the 4th month. Invest in a good maternity belt, it is an absolute lifesaver.
Mere case mein toh 5th month se back pain shuru ho gaya tha. My mother used to warm some mustard oil with garlic and gently massage my back in the evenings. It gave me so much relief, you can also try it ghar pe.
I am in my 16th week and my lower back has already started hurting if I sit for too long. I thought back pain only starts in the third trimester when the baby gets heavy. Is anyone else experiencing this so early? I'm a bit worried if it's normal.
