I'll have to try that , Cate. I've been trying to keep as stretched out as much as possible.
My back was really sore as well in week 5, but I found sitting in a Taylor's position (butterfly pose) and stretching those lower back muscles really helped.
I'm about 5 weeks, just had a positive hpt this past week. My. Back. Is. Killing. Me. Seriously. I've never really had pain before other than due to injury. This is my third pregnancy and I never experienced back pain in either of my previous pregnancies. I was wondering if my pain is a result of being pregnant or is it because I just unknowingly pulled a muscle or something. Earlier today I had to actually sit down for a minute because of sharp shooting pains.
@sguila1987 when does that happen my back hasn't really bothered me today
Back pain is common in early pregnancy. It usually gets better once your uterus rises above your pelvic bone.
