lower back pain?

Al4321 · Apr 28th, 2009, 14:40 PM

I didnt think it was possible to have such back pain this early in pregnancy! i went to the doctor who checked me over and he said it isnt uncommon for women to experience lower back pain even early on due to hormonal changes, it goes if i lye down and go to sleep but then ten minutes after waking up and moving about i get it again! anyone else experiencing this?

Also how do I go about booking a private scan?

i get a really bad back if i lie in the bath to long and a bit of an ache a lot of the time! If you google early scans in your area you should be able to find some links xx

Im getting back pain and have done for weeks..its kinda in the side although my oh reckons its not sciatica as that goes into your bum apparently. If the docs arent too worried then i wouldnt unless its causing you real agony.

I just googled private scans in south west (do it for your particular area) and found the best one. We had to travel quite a way but our scan was only £50..we had 2 in the end, and i would reccomend it as you cannot put a price on reasurance

I just looked on spire now and apparently I need a doctors referal to have a private scan? or is that only with spire(bupa) I just really want to put my mind at rest!

I didnt need a referal, that might be with bupa - although surely if the nhs is refering you then they should be doing themselves? No i dont think you need a referal..try googling baby bond..they might have one near you?
