Anyone else at around 15 weeks experienced really bad lower back pain? Not sure if it’s pregnancy related or if I need to go get it checked 😭

Either way - get it checked

I am! I have had lower back pain for years but it feels really sore this week (I’m 17.5 weeks pregnant). I’ve booked a pregnancy massage for next week in the hope that relieves some pain! I know back pain is likely to occur as pregnancy develops but it’s so uncomfortable ☹️

It’s not a UTI, it’s like a trapped nerve or a muscular pain rather than infection. Usually worse if I’ve been sat down for a long time and then stand up!
I’ll get it checked out!
yeah I’ve always had aches and pains, I’m not the most flexible person and have started doing stretches everyday to see if that helps! X

I explained it as a trapped nerve feeling too! I followed a Pregnancy Yoga YouTube video a couple of days ago and it definitely eased the pain - I’m going to aim to do it 3 times a week alongside other exercise as either way it’s really good to do! Xx

I’ll give that a go, I am stretching but god knows if it’s helping or if I’m doing it properly 😂
But yes, it’s good to get you prepared for the birth as well so worth doing for sure! Good luck!! 🤞 xxx

good idea! Maybe book a massage in if you can just to ease any tension and pain. Good luck to you too! Xxx

Yeah I’ve been upping my yoga to try to help it, I getting back pain now how bad would it be later

I am having a boy 😂 I’ve heard rumours that boy pregnancies can be more uncomfortable lol!
not sure what to do to help. Is stretching making it worse possibly. Think I’ll speak to my midwife when I next see her! X

I’ve been stretching more, are you finding it’s helping? Everything feels tighter, my hamstrings etc but no amount of stretching seems to loosen me up.
I just worry that by the time I get really pregnant I’m going to be really stiff and uncomfortable 😣 how many weeks are you? X

it’s interesting but putting my mind at ease knowing it’s because of pregnancy rather than an additional thing. Our bodies are changing rapidly to fit a human being so I can’t expect it to be comfortable 😂 they do say boys and girls carry differently ! Xx

Yes yes yes from standing a lot and walking a lot ! Stretch out that back girl ♥️
