Back pain is no joke

Anyone else having back pain? I'm not even 6 weeks along yet and this back pain is worse than the last days of my pregnancy with DS. I can stretch it out but it comes right back.

  • Yep! I'm just past 8 weeks and my lower back hurts so bad sometimes it feels numb. I was thinking of using an icy hot patch... Think those are safe?

  • Just check to make sure Icy Hot doesn't contain aspirin. Some of those patches do. If you have a tub, I highly reccomend epsom salts. Reeeeally helpful. I think they are safe.

  • My doctor told me that my back pain is due to my right ovary being so big bc it's producing so many hormones. She said that it should go away in a few weeks once the ovary gets smaller.
  • Omg the back pain is SO bad! It's been my most consistent symptom and just awful first thing in the morning. I'm going to look into those icy hot patches - good idea!

  • Omg!! I thought it was just me. My back was killing me last night. Luckily my DB was there to give me a good back massage. What causes that??
  • I have this too! I am almost 7 weeks. I busted out the hot pad last night, it seemed to help. I googled and it seems safe to use a hot pad.
  • You have to make sure the tempture is not too hot
  • Thank you for the heads up! I will watch my temperature setting!

  • Glad I am not the only one! My back is constantly killing me! Sleeping is a joke with like 4 pillows now! I can't imagine how bad it is going to be at 7 & 8 months :((
  • I have a history of low back problems and always figured it would play a role in my pregnancy. I've had some minor issues with it. I am looking into prenatal yoga to hopefully stave off any major back issues as my pregnancy progresses. Back pain sucks! Hope you find some relief very soon.
