lower back ache

tinytoes · Feb 12th, 2008, 04:47 AM

is it too early for pregnancy to be the cause? I'm just into the 18th week.

Woke up very achey today. Feels really weak right down the bottom.
I woke up on my back a few times...wondering if this was the problem..

ouccch.

Did you sleep on your back? Or could you have been on your back atall in the night? Your uterus can do some pretty nasty things to your back in the night! I wake up on my back sometimes and it's horrible!

yeah i woke on my backa fwe times. In fact theother night i thought that as i rolled onto my back i actually felt something in my belly slide to the back!..like a football in there.. urgh, it bloody hurts today. I must try harder to stay on my side then!

It could just be you're body and spine adjusting to the new belly and weight, I think thats why my back has been hurting because mine is so low i feel like my butt crack is where it hurts! lol! And mine hurts really deep

I've tried a hot water bottle as a compress before bed and that's helped before. I sometimes wake up on my back, but that usually doesn't cause me discomfort, if anything I feel better sometimes. Every womans body is different though. Sometimes if I lie flat on the ground it feels so good because all the pressure is taken off from standing and sitting. But that position gets uncomfortable if I stay in it too long.
Good luck easing the pain dear

It comes with the territory I suppose!

My back has been terrible. Sometimes I feel like I can't walk properly because of it so I walk like a penguin.

I've had a few lower back aches and always put it down to the pregnancy and the way I was sleeping at night.
