Hi all,
Could really do with some advice / experiences from others on this!
I'm currently 12+5 and pretty much since 6 weeks have had back pain in a really specific spot on my back/pelvis, just to the left of the base of my spine. It started off niggly but has got worse as the pregnancy has progressed. I'm now aware of it at all times and am finding it difficult to get comfortable to sleep etc.
I've mentioned it to my GP and to two midwives and they've all just said "muscles loosening, it's normal". FTM so I have no idea what's normal! But I'm worried about the severity of it so early on. I'd also have expected more generalised pain / aches with loosening muscles etc, but this is really in a specific place and doesn't move.
I'm worried it's an early sign of PGP and am wondering if I should push more for help. I'm usually very active but an attempt to go swimming a few days ago has left me in worse pain.
The thought of it just getting worse as I get bigger is just making me feel miserable!
Any thoughts / similar experiences? Am I worrying over nothing?
