10+6, really bad lower back pain and then stomach cramps after?

[salsasalsa]

Hello,
I'm 10+6, yesterday I felt sick all day up until lunch time, but couldn't be sick. I started getting really overwhelmingly bad lower back pain so much so I could barely move, I went home from work, eventually threw up, and back pain continued an hour or so so in total was probably there about 3/4 hours. After that I had a nap and when I woke up I had a really tight stomach and it was uncomfortable to move - I want to say crampy but it wasn't like period cramps or a full ache, it was just tight and uncomfortable...
Anyone else had anything similar and been ok?
I have no bleeding, have however woke up today with slight tight feeling in my stomach still, no bleeding. :( x

Also to mention I am pregnant with twins x

Hi @salsasalsa this post could literally have been written by me! I'm also 10+6 with twins! I've been getting all the symptoms you've described although doesn't sound like mine have been as bad.

From what I understand lower back pain is common in early pregnancy because everything is just stretching and adjusting in that area - and with twins it's bound to be more pronounced as our bodies are accommodating two! Same goes for the crampiness/tightenings - definitely felt it so much more this time with the twins and I'm thinking everything must just be stretching at a double rate!

As for sickness, I've been sick and drained for the past month, it's lasted way longer and way worse than when I was pregnant with DD. If you're feeling rubbish and uncomfortable with your back and stomach Sod's law your sickness probably chose that time to flare up! Cramps could also be due to constipation etc as we're producing so much progesterone and that apparently bungs things up a bit.

Just to add I've had lots of bleeding in early pregnancy and at my latest scan it showed I have a hematoma so even bleeding doesn't necessarily mean everything is going wrong. This early pregnancy stuff is certainly sent here to test us!!

Hope you're ok

Thank you so much for your reply.
That's amazing that you are the same time along with twins!
I found out it was twins after a few early scans from faint bleeds/pains...
There were two heartbeats last Thursday and all was well, but still worrying about missed miscarriages and vanishing twin syndrome the lot...
Thank you for confirming all sounds normal, I'm hoping it was all just a huge bad coincidence of timings... sickness, bad back, stomach cramps. Today, so far, all I have is the tight painful uncomfortable stomach, which today I'm starting to think is perhaps constipation (not suffered this one yet) as haven't been to the loo yet.
I go on holiday to Greece tomorrow so just hoping everything calms down... My 12 week scan isn't for another 3 weeks, when I will be 14 weeks and the wait just seems sooo long! :(
Worry worry worry, but thank you very much for your response, very helpful thank you :) x

Just for if anyone else read/relates.
I seem to be much better and pain eased off after going to the loo...
so stomach pains and cramping and discomfort most likely constipation... coincidence in timing with yesterdays all day sickness and back pain!!! x

I also get really bad lower back ache from constipation OP...

I'm glad everything is ok for you! ❤️

Just my stomach is still really quite painful/tight. Hoping it's just because I still need the loo? Just don't know whether it's something to worry about or not. I guess I just have to assume not if no bleeding. Just so worried as it's twins that could be something wrong with one and not the other even with out bleeding, I drive myself mad with my negative thoughts I'm sorry. x
