Will back pain is a symptom of pregnancy?

Question

My period is due in 3 days and ive had this dull lower back pain since morning. I usually dont get back pain before periods. Could it be an early sign or im just overthinking?

Same here, my lower back is killing me lately. Is it worse in the morning for you too?

My doctor explained that hormone relaxin loosens joints, causing back pain. She advised proper posture and a hot compress.

Totally a symptom. Start prenatal yoga if your gynac permits, it saved my back.

I have read that back pain happens when the uterus starts stretching. Hope you feel better soon.

It's super common. Try using a small pillow behind your back while sitting, and avoid sitting for too long.

Riya Jadhav · Answer

It is a classic symptom! Your body is shifting weight, so invest in a good pregnancy pillow early on.

Definitely a symptom. Instead of buying expensive maternity pillows, just roll up normal bedsheets for support.

It can definitely be an early sign due to hormonal changes. Please rest well and take things very gently.
