Lower Back Pain.......New ?

If you have experienced lower back pain in the first trimester please describe it.  Does it feel like cramping or like you lifted something heavy and now your muscle aches across your lower back?



Is any one's worse when they sit or lay down ?

oh man i had it really bad this pregnancy but it's gone now. I only had it for a few weeks in the very beginning. But it was pain in my flank and in my back the middle part lower and it was TERRIBLE! I would cry because i couldn't move because the pain was so severe! It was like a stabbing pain in the middle of my back and the pain on the flank was just like a cramping pain and would never go away no matter what i did!

I have a pain that feels like I pulled a muscle in my lower back and radiates down my legs some.  Unfortunately, I was having this every few months (close to my period) before I got pregnant and I never went to get it checked.  So now, I've had it once so far since being pregnant (beginning of October), and felt like I was gonna die because Tylenol does absolutely NOTHING for me.  I always took Ibuprofen before and it dulled the pain some.  It lasted about 2 weeks, then went away, but now I'm getting that dull ache in my lower back again and I'm scared its coming back again.  It was hard to get comfortable while sleeping and sitting, I could hardly walk up and down the stairs or do my grocery shopping, I could barely get up out of bed because it hurt so bad.  It was horrible!!!

I have been having this pretty strong for the last 2-3 weeks.  Today it seems worse... the pain i have kind of radiates around the area above my butt but on both sides.Its like a mixture of preperiod back pain I used to get when I was young.. and a pulled muscle (Ihavent doen anything to pull something)..  today I am alittle freaked about it since im only 7 weeks and I have all of a suddon lost my MS and my tiredness.  This is baby #4 and I know they say all PGs are different but... Ive never lost my MS!!  Hope your back feels better.  I am looking forward to a warm shower... that always helps!!

I am having the same thing. My lower back is killing me. It feels like I'm about to start my period. I also get really bad leg cramps with the back cramps. This is my first time being pregnant so I'm hoping this isn't a bad sign.

Mine seems worse when I sit down.  Not laying though.  Although the only time I lay down is when I am falling asleep so I may be so tired i dont even notice!!

My back pain comes when either I'm standing up or sitting down. I usually have to lay down and relax and the pain goes away.
