Is a warm sensation in lower back and dull lower backache a normal symptom in early pregnancy?

Answer 1

I too had a dull aching in my lower belly at approx six weeks pregnant and it was accompanied by a brown discharge so as you can imagine I thought the worst. The pain was very similar to a period pain and I was convinced something was wrong and so the hospital gave me an early scan and everything was ok. I have also read on the internet that you can get growing pains during early pregnancy which apparently is the womb preparing itself for the growth of a baby. Also you can become constipated during pregnancy which also can be a very similar pain to a period pain. I hope this has helped and I wish you and baby all the best x

Answer 2

yep, that's a common normal pregnancy symptom. i had it but did some excercises and fortunately they dissappered.

u need to streghthen your pelvic muscles.

this is what you do:

1. stand up, relax your shoulders

2. push your pelvic bone forward

3. then push your pelvic bone back

4. do it everyday - mornings 1 - 3 mins per day was enough for me

another excercise is:

1. breath in and focus on your breath

2. breath out and concentrate on the way your belly moves in and out

3. you should feel the area strengnthen

another excercise:

1. pretend you are absolutely desparate to urinate, but u are in no position to urinate

2. you have to your use muscles down below to hold it in

3. so hold it in

4. then release it (but don't pee!)

always go to the doc or midwife to check this is right for u. also see a phisiotherapist - your midwife should refer u - also Google 'PELVIC FLOOR EXCERCISES' if you want more information on the above steps.

hope it helps, congrats and good luck x
