  • ME!! oh my gosh I’d been having back ache for like coming on two weeks now I thought it was my bed reason why I was getting it! Did a tests Tuesday and I’m actually pregnant! Iv already got a little boy and never had this with him! I’m assuming the cramps would be the body changing xx
  • How bad are they?
  • Hi, I also had a terrible backache, and a lower back pain. I had them first two trimesters. Lie more, especially on your side - this helps a lot. For pain in the back, lower back during pregnancy, massage helps a lot. I wore a special bandage, it was so much more convenient and easier for me. In the first trimester, pain can be caused by hormonal changes. The sleep on the side with a pillow between the legs and under the stomach will help relieve pain, compresses, special belts for pregnant women to provide additional support for the abdomen and back, massage. Also wear flat shoes, maintain a healthy weight, avoid standing for long periods, avoid lifting heavy things, and do not sleep on your stomach.
