Mild cramping and lower back pain at 9 weeks

[alison22]

Today is the 9 week mark, also about a week after I would normally get aunt flow. I started this morning with mild cramping not constant just now and then, no spotting of any kind. This afternoon while at work I got some lower back pain both are tolerable just wondering if I need to worry and call the dr. I figure if it persists tomorrow I will call but I also have an appt on Thursday. Just not sure if I need to worry...

I wouldn't. I had horrendous back pain through my entire pregnancy, and cramping off & on. But you'd know best about your body. I'd say it's normal, but a call wouldn't hurt. Good luck!

Thank you! Since I got home from work and ate some dinner the cramping has tapered off. So I think it's just some normal stretching happening.

I am 8.5 weeks and am going through the same thing. I am just hoping it is stretching and such, but it is nerve wracking. I'm sure you are fine, but look out for spotting. I think if you have no spotting you are ok.

I've had cramping on and off throughout but I'm hoping its a good thing. The last couple of days I've had back pain too but this is much earlier than my previous 2 pregnancies, I'm just hoping its normal still

ive had backpain and mild menstrual-like-cramping since 7 wks and im still having it at 8 weeks but when i go to work my back pain is severely painful and if i dont get to sit down the pain shoots across my hips until i get home and rest. because of this, i think ill get a note from mydoctor so i can change in store positions temporarily to make me feel more safe and comfortable. my manager already approved of this.
