Im only 9 weeks and my kamar is already aching so much, i thought back pain comes later when belly grows. Is it normal this early? Slightly worried, anyone else had it in first trimester?
During the first trimester, your body releases progesterone and relaxin hormones which soften your ligaments to prepare for baby's growth, leading to backaches. Just maintain good posture when sitting and avoid standing for too long. If the pain is severe or sharp, please let your doctor know.
Please don't assume back pain is just a normal symptom, especially in the first trimester. While it can be hormonal, severe back pain can sometimes be a sign of other complications. Always check with your gynac to ensure everything is progressing safely.
Early back pain is usually due to hormonal changes and your uterus starting to stretch. Try to rest as much as possible and avoid lifting heavy things. It will get better, just take care of yourself.
I've been researching early pregnancy symptoms since we are planning, and it's surprising how early back pain can start! Apparently, even before your belly grows, hormones like relaxin loosen up your joints, causing aches. It's amazing how much the body changes right away.
In our home, we suggest keeping a small pillow behind your back when sitting and avoiding bending down suddenly. This early pain is very common as your body adjusts, but please discuss it with your doctor during your next visit to be completely safe.
