I've missed my period, and I'm wondering if I could be pregnant. I'm also feeling some mild back pain. Will there be back pain during early pregnancy? Is it a common symptom?
Actually, my sisters told me that backache is a very common early pregnancy sign. I hope you are feeling okay. Sending you lots of positive vibes and prayers.
Back pain can definitely happen early on, but try to observe how severe it is. I had a bit of lower backache during my PCOS pregnancy too but I was extremely cautious. If it gets sharp or thoda heavy, always safe to ask your gynac once.
Oh god, the back pain starts in week 5 and literally never leaves, now I am lifting my baby and my back is totally gone! Get a good pregnancy pillow early on, trust me. Sleep whenever u get even ten mins.
Yes dear, I had so much lower back pain in my first trimester, felt like my body was stretching out. It is tough but u are doing amazing. Hang in there, this beautiful phase will pass.
In our home, my MIL suggested applying a little warm sesame oil on my back, but I made sure to ask my doctor first. Mild pain is normal, but always confirm with your gynac before trying any hot compress or massages.
Gentle walking of 15-20 minutes really helped relieve my early back tension. But please make sure u only do light stretching or walking if your doctor has allowed active movement.
Honestly, I had such terrible vomiting early on that my back pain felt like nothing! But yes, mild backaches are very common because our bodies start preparing early. Rest as much as u can and keep sipping warm water.
Aree, don't worry, mild backache is totally normal in the early weeks as your womb is growing. Just make sure u don't lift any heavy buckets or bags. Lie down straight and take thoda rest.
Early back pain is mostly because of hormones relaxing your ligaments. I used to do very gentle cat-cow stretches which helped. But check with your doc before doing any exercises.
Haha, wait till u reach the third trimester, u will miss this early pain! Yes, it starts early on, try using a small cushion behind your back when sitting. It helps a lot.
No need to run to the hospital for mild back pain, just sit on a comfortable chair and don't stand for too long in the kitchen. Make sure u wear flat sandals ghar pe also, it really reduces the pressure.
When I was at mummy's place during my early months, she would put a warm water bag behind my lower back and make me rest. Having family around to pamper u makes the pain so much more bearable.
