Back ache & heat bags

[~Stoked~]

Babyluv, both backache and cramps are completely normal in early pregnancy. To me it feels like you are just about to get AF, sometimes I've had full blown AF pain and I've been very worried but it has all been fine. As long as you have no bleeding associated with the cramps then all is ok.

Congrats on your pregnancy! X

Yep, very normal. Use the heat pack but keep it at or below the sacrum cause if you heat up your lower back too much it can be bad in the first few months esspecially. You don't want to heat up your core temp too much

Yup, had quite bad back ache when I was 8 weeks. Found the heat bags helped but nothing was better then having a quick lie down and rest for 15 mins.

I also had bad back ache in the 1st tri. I didn't use a heat pack but rather had long hot showers and my dh soothed it for me.

I would never have survived my pregnancy without them!!!
Back aches are quite common. Heat should help, and warm showers are good too. Hope you start to feel better soon
