    Backache - help

    So I've been pregnant for about 5 minutes (4w4d) but have this nagging backache - lower back - and its freaking me out! Anyone else have this? Is it just everything stretching

    backache is pretty common in early pregnancy, as are slight cramps and a heavy feeling just like before you get your period. Even at this stage of pregnancy you are more likely to injury yourself due to the relaxin flooding your body so make sure you take it easy. If you have any bleeding or severe pain then go and see your GP for advice xx

    Thanks ladies, I've forgotten so much from last time. The abdo cramps ate really mild and it is all dull achy pain, just my body doing it's job I guess. I am trying not to stress, bb is helping keep me sane. Thanks for the advice Traveller and glad to know I'm not alone in this Kim to both of you
