Lower back pain

I am 9 weeks 2 days and my lower back is killing me every evening.  I feel as though it is locked and I can't move without grunting in pain.  Ugh...if this continues I am in for a looooong 31 weeks.

    I'm having lower back pain too. My chiropractor is one of my favorite people these past few weeks! 
    Hope you get some relief soon!

    I second the Chiropractor! Works wonders for me. Also, I would recommend some body-weight  squats if you're feeling up to it. They help strengthen your core and has really helped me alleviate an back pain I've had this far. Feel better soon!
  • Me too! I think part of it is our crappy mattress though. When I woke up at 6:30 yesterday morning bc of my back, I started sending options from Consumer Reports to my husband. It hurts his back too, but we've got a long way to go so we've got to figure something out. Feel better!

    My best friend worships her chiropractor. She goes every two weeks! I on the other hand am terrified of giving it a try since I have two herniated disks in my lower back. I usually just stretch and do more core and back exercises to strengthen the muscles around it. Hopefully it won't last throughout your whole pregnancy.

  • @uromys I have spinal stenosis. I spoke in depth with my chiropractor about it. I know mine isn't as bad as a herniated disc, but if you are having back issues, I suggest looking into a chiro. Mine has helped my back so much.

  • I get lower back pain from gas and constipation, so you could be experiencing that too. I've also had bad lower back pain from a UTI (and it was my only symptom)...
