Back pain

Definitely find a pelvic health PT in your area that specializes in prenatal and postpartum. Likely due to a change in hormones ! Where do you live?

Are you on any additional progesterone?

When you go for your 16 weeks appointment speak to your midwife about it, they can maybe refer you to physio and they can help you with the pain, or you can self refer

So I know it’s not this yet but for future reference when I went into labor it was all back pain in the beginning! It was my first sign of labor- again not saying you in labor obviously, just saying just in case when you do eventually have labor pay attention to the back pain cuz that’s what woke me up one day and it took me a few hours to realize the back pain was cuz I was in labor and I wish someone told me cuz I was expecting all the pain to be in the front lol

I experienced the same thing during that time frame! It happened most when I was on my feet and standing/sitting for long periods of time and on the worst days it would take about a day and a half of rest for it to go away. I was hunched over like a lil grandma lol. But I've learned that it was my body adjusting to the hormones that loosen up everything. I still have gotten it occasionally, but have learned to manage it with short frequent walks and I'm seeing a physical therapist for exercises to help alleviate symptoms. There are plenty of helpful videos on YouTube for pregnancy yoga too! It would also make me experience insane rib pain too with the changing hormones, that now I've adjusted that by making sure I am sitting with plenty of pillows behind me supporting a more upright sitting position (where belly button is level with the ground) versus lounging and belly up, if that makes sense. This has helped tremendously though it took some time to adjust to.
