lower back and upper side pain please help

[Sanne48]

Hi all,

Am looking for a bit of advice...am currently 5 weeks pregnant and this is my 3rd pregnancy.My daughter is 8 months old and my son 2 since October.I am having awful lower back pain mainly at night but during the day today.Am anxious as my last pregnancy was suspected ectopic but all worked out OK in the end but my anxiety levels are through the roof already.Am terrified I'm going to have a miscarriage x

I remember having bad lower back pain for a few days at around 6/7 weeks . It worried me but everything turned out fine!

Thanks for your reply. I am 5 weeks and 3 days today so hopefully all will be OK.x

I had period-like pains at the beginning of my second pregnancy in my lower back and it went away around 10-12w. Apparently it is caused by the baby implanting. Some women spot a little, some women have the pain.
If you are very stressed then I would book a 8w scan and pay for it to get comfort that everything is okay.
You’ve got this!

@Sanne48 I had all kinds of cramps up until about 10 weeks too. I know it’s hard but try not to stress x
