Backache

[Hopefulk]

Hi ladies

I'm just over eight weeks and have backache, which I don't remember having before (with dd or mmcs). Is this a bad sign? It feels as though it's between the small of my back and the top of my bottom.

I've had it since yesterday and am worried. I know everything is loosening up as well so I guess it might be from pushing Sadie on the swings yesterday, bending to dance with her at a halloween party, sitting with her on the floor, getting her in and out the car seat six times, picking her up (or more accurately bending with a bag in one hand and hoisting her up with one arm as she jumps onto a hip).

Should I call the midwife / epu to get an answer? I have my second scan on Friday (should be 9 weeks by then) but it just seems forever away. And it may sound weird but I have a real fear of the physical element of having a miscarriage (I would prefer to know if things have gone wrong and have an erpc again) and I'm scared that this could be a sign that a mc is imminent.

Sorry for going on... Don't know what to do.

im 7 weeks and have horrendous back ache but have since before i got my bfp.
id say its all part and parcel of being pregnant but if your really concerned id just call midwife. they will hear it all the time and know how to reassure you or advise you what to do for the best.

all the best

Well after two days of complete rest (hubby doing all the picking up of dd) and sleeping with a pillow between my knees last night, it ses to have gone and I've had no bleeding or anything so I'm
Hoping I'd just overdone things.

I defo feel it more if ive over done it even just slightly, and i dont have a little one to contend with lol x

Hope it keeps getting better xx

Had a scan today and all is well. For anyone looking in the future, consultant said second pregnant gives more aches and pains because your body had done it before and also because of how active you are with toddler.

So don't worry like I did, ladies!

I have my backache in the same spot as you...have had it pretty much from the start and im pretty sure it will only get worse. Im thinking of buying a maternity pillow to help, backache keeps me up at night...and also I have a hot bath every night before bed...if I dont then I dont get any sleep. I also feel as though my hip is coming out of joint sometimes and I think that is linked to the backache...its probably just baby sitting on a nerve. anyone else have the hip pain as well?

I had hip pain later on in pregnancy with dd.x
