Backaches while pregnant...

Well as a mother of 5 i can tell you this is completely normal. And with all pregnancy's, things vary. People have morning sickness the whole time with one pregnancy, and maybe only once or twice with another. Same as aches and pains. Some of my pregnancy's were terrific and some were horrible. It varies with your body and your baby. I know its a pain (no pun intended) but eventually it will get better. And just think, in 5 months you will have a beautiful baby and you'll forget all about the aches and pains it took to get them here. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Congratulations .....Try sitting on a big yoga ball at home, when your in the car try a rubber ring (blow up cushion) the other thing that we get in Australia is a belly belt, it is an elasticated band that is adjustable and helps to support your growing belly and take the strain off of your back, i hope these sujjustions work for you, and goodluck with your baby

Congratulation to know that you are pregnant, you are so lucky and blessed to br pregnant. During pregnancy, same thing happened to me too. I have consulted doctor and advised me to be warm always, she said, its normal and sometimes due to cold weather. Be warm and rest. Iam sure it will help you. Best wishes till you deliver.

i had it with both of mine but my first was worse. i was at 95 lbs before becoming pregnant at 19. i gained alot of weight and got up to 150 something. i had alot of back pain. i think its pretty much normal but if you are really worried about it id call your doctor and talk to them

yes, i had that before but on 8th & 9th month it's normal. specially the premature contraction. gosh, so painful. do you drink milk? milk is rich in calcium & calcium is good for the bones. it helps to strengthen the bone. while typing & sitting on a heating pad, try to put a pillow on your back to feel more comfort & sit up straight. try to go to your ob-gyne & have it check. prevention is better than cure.

Hello and congratulations ! In the beginning of my pregnancy I also had a lot of pain in my tailbone, it just went away after a few weeks, and I hope it will be the same for you. The advice of my midwife was to have a pillow between my knees when I slept (you have to sleep on the side for this) and when I was standing for a certain period of time I should exercise by balancing my weight from the front of my feet to the back of my feet, not sure if you see what I mean there... was actually good for me to do that so may be your doctor will advise that too! Have a beautiful pregancy ;)

Oh wow you are only 4 months along. What does the doctor say? It sounds like the baby could be lying on a nerve. I know sometimes they move around and it can make you uncomfortable but I wouldn't think you should experience so much pain just at 4 months. Usually the last 2 months are hard because it's difficult to sleep and you feel so big and uncomfortable. I don't know what else to tell you except talk to your doctor and see what he suggests because you certainly do not want 5 more months of this. Good Luck.

you dont expect to see the exact things you saw on your first pregnancy in your second.in my second pregnancy i used to have lots of waste pain and back pain.you can get rid of it by taking a pain relief tablet that does not contain caffien or better still always go for a massage or ask your hubby to do it for you it helps.Good luck

It might be because you had already been thrown off during the first pregnancy. Usually during the second everything starts coming sooner. If your leg starts to go numb consult your doctor because the baby could be on you nerve causing the back pain. Good luck and congradulations on the baby. Hope you feel better.

i was just saying in another post that during my third pregnancy with my son the pain in my lower back was excruciating. it lasted all the last five months but came and went. noone gasve me any explanation and i still have a weak back eight years on. i would say to you to find out all you can about it and what you can do to relieve it as i had to eat my meals standing some days and i had to be hauled from my chair when i did sit down. i think it was the way the baby was lying all the time. just make sue you get it seen to and good luck with your baby.

I had backaches from about 3 months on, they would come and go. in my lower back, near my hips. i think its just your body making room and getting itself ready for growing and having that baby :) but if you are worried you could always go to your doctor to find out of everything is ok.

I think i can give u some suggestion as i'm mother a beautiful girl baby...i had back ache when i wa sin seventh month pregnant...u know..at that the bellly will be bulged...i heard most of my friends complaining abt back aches even in the third month...they had discussed with the doctor itself..what they r saying is it is completely normal to have back pain durin gearlier stage of pregnancy... U entered into the second trimister reight?...u can definitely feel back pain...If the pain is not tolerable..dont hesitate to visit doctor..bcz they know everthing... But mostly...back pain during pregnancy is totally normal.. Congratulations on ur pregnancy.. Enjoy motherhood!!! dont forgot to eat well!!!

i just to say do not work hard at home just keep it relax and drik anmom

I have 2 sons and in my second pregnancy i also had a lot backache. Maybe the tailbone pain could be due to a larger baby than your first one. Pregnancies after the first tend to yeild bigger babies.

Hi. I am 8 months pregnant and have been having bad backaches for a few months now. I have a lot of hip pain as well. What I have found is that it's not as bad during the day, when I'm walking around and active, but as soon as I settle in at night I start really feeling it! The one and only thing I've found that helps is an excercize called 'pelvic rocking'... what you do is get on your hands and knees, with your back straight.. be sure you aren't curving or dipping your back, you should look like a table. Now, isolate your pelvis and rock it back and forth, it kind of looks like you're pulling your butt in and then sticking it back out! Just your pelvis, your back shouldn't move much. This excercize strengthens and stretches all of the tiny little muscles in your lower back that are hard to reach with massage... I'm taking birth classes, and they say this excercize produces more benefits than any other excercize for the pregnant mother. They're really easy to do, and don't take a lot of time or effort, but the results are great! I do about 40 a day, and I notice it's the only thing that makes my lower back feel truly 'stretched'.. massage helps relax my back, but the pelvic rocking actually strenghthens and stretches all those tiny muscles. Good luck, and I very strongly suggest you give this a try for a few weeks... it's the only thing that helped me!

I had them with my 2 pregnancies, but much later...perhaps you might want to mention that to your doctor next time you visit.

I have never been pregnant so I don't know.. but I get scared of having kids when I hear about the problems. Morning sickness! backaches! :( I hope you feel better soon.

I had them from day one of pregnancy. I had to go to the chiropractor from about 3 months until the day I delivered. That was the only thing that helped. The further along I got, the worse they got and I got to the point that I almost couldn't walk until I went to the chiro!! Hate to hear you are in pain!!! Hope it gets better!

Having just given birth recently myself, I think that this is pretty normal. Unless the pain is unbearable of course, then it might suggest something serious. In the meantime, maybe you should avoid strenous activities.
