Is it normal to get back pain at the start of your second trimester? I’ve been stretching and using ice packs. Has anyone experienced this or can give advice?

I had this! I think it's a hormone thing. It didnt last too long (sorry I can't remember how long) and using a firm cushion on my lower back when sitting seemed to help. Basically make sure you've got good support.

Yes. Your body is growing

Oh yeah… Pretty painful in my case. It will get better. For me personally, the worst pain came later, it was hip pain that literally took my sleep away in the third trimester. I couldn’t get comfortable and was awake every hour. 😕
