Hi hun,

Reasons I have come across lower back pain in early pregnancy are

~ body beginning its adjustments (muscles and ligaments)
~ wind pain and
~ beleive it or not, constipation. Sometimes when I get it I take a dose of Metamucil (hugs Metamucil bottle) and within an hr or so I am right as rain!

I found my 1st pregnancy the worst for aches and pains as everything is not only new to you and DH but to your body also.

With DS#2 I flew / bounced through the pregnancy as everything just kinds knew what to do.

This time round I feel even less which I think is why I wonder if I am at all utd! lol

According to my book BIRTH (which I highy recommend) in the Chapter 2

"Aches & pains: mild cramps, bloating, tugging and pulling and prehaps slight backache is common as the uterus starts to grow. This often causes woman concern but if there is no heavy bleeding, it is probably normal"


I hope that eases your mind but if it really is making you feel ill at ease go and see your GP.
