Lower back pain at 15 weeks?

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

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 ♥️

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
