Lower back pain

I'm 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and my lower back has been killing me!! It hurt even before I got my positive beta but now it seems to be getting worse. I just worked last night and I know that it didn't help to be on my feet but I literally feel like something is sitting on my nerve above my butt it caused me to limp up the driveway this morning. I do have back problems to begin with but aren't I too early to be feeling this lower backache?? Can it be ligament pain?

Lower back pain

totally normal! your body is preparing itself for pregnancy :) it'll go away

Lower back pain

Sounds like sciatica. I started getting it in the 2nd trimester and have had it for the past month or so. It has been getting better though. Totally normal, just another joy of pregnancy.

Re: Lower back pain

The back pain now is likely unrelated to being pregnant. Do you wear good shoes? They are key if you stand all day. As your pregnancy progresses and you begin carrying more weight, it's only going to get worse.
