Anyone else with unbearable back pain?

mrs_drc_rn · December 2013

I'm a FTM and can usually Google any symptom-related questions, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a lot of back pain? I'm 13 weeks and get the occasional bout of RLP, but ever since yesterday my lower back has been killing me. I woke up at 3am in pain and unable to get comfortable at all. I put a call out to the doctor to see what I could take to ease it, but I'm just wondering if back pain this consistent is normal around this time? Thanks for any advice ladies!

Yes! I get it almost everyday. If I sleep wrong it's worse. I I can manage to sleep with my preg pillow I'm usually pretty good but that thing just pisses me off because somehow I always get tangled up in it!! Lol. I feel awful today but I'm pretty sure that it is due to the board that my aunt calls a bed while I'm here visiting!!

I haven't invested in a preg pillow but I did borrow DH's body pillow today to try to get some relief. It helped a little but it was getting all tangled and pissing me off haha

I get tailbone pain but lately I've been getting sharp pains mid back on my right side. Not fun.

Yes but my chiropractor is a life saver. I can't function without him!

I agree with the chiropractor. I have been getting a lot of pain in my lower back since about 11 weeks. Seeing the chiropractor has helped a lot. When I do have pain a heating pad helps.

I get really bad back pain too. I saw a chiro with my first pregnancy, but so far this time yoga has really helped! Even if it's reallt hurting me, I find if I push through some gentle yoga it helps a lot.

Yes and it gets worse the further I get- I'm doing yoga and it helps some

Tailbone and lower back pain for me. Most nights I get in bed and want to cry because it hurts so much. I don't remember it being this bad with DD, I'm assuming its worse this time because it's two. Plus my breasts have grown 2 cup sizes so that is putting extra strain on my back. The joys of pregnancy.

Noticeable back pain--all over, mostly lower and shoulders--started earlier this week.

I plan to buy a pregnancy pillow in the next week or so. I was going to wait until we got a new (King instead of Queen) mattress so it wasn't me, fiance, 3 pets and a pregnancy pillow, but I can't wait.

Fiance massaged me tonight and the knots in my back were massive.

I have lower back pain with shooting type pains down my right butt cheek and into my thigh. Doc said it's sciatica. Oh yay.

Sciatica or not, doc recommended heating pad and Tylenol. I sleep with a body pillow on either side of me and it's super cramped in the queen bed haha

Thanks for the feedback ladies! I was just a little concerned with only being 13 weeks and how consistent it's been. But it looks like that's just how my body is responding so I'm going to have to get on the heating pad train and pop some Tylenol! If that doesn't help, a chiropractor sounds like a great idea.

Going to my chiro helps me, my hips were hurting so bad I was limping, after he adjusted me I was fine. Love my monthly adjustments!
