Is this normal ??

[cosmo21]

I'm 5+3 so really early only found out a week ago. Been fine really. Slightly tender boobs, no sickness or anything (yet) but since this morning I started with lower left sided back pain only on the left side and in one spot. It went off for abit but now it's come back and all across my lower back and feels quite tight? Almost like I'm being squeezed from both sides of my hips. It is quite painful atm but I don't want to take any paracetamol yet as I want to see if it gets even worse. Has anyone experienced this crushing sort of lower back pain in early pregnancy and all has been okay??

Anyone ?

Hey,

I haven't experienced this personally but didn't want to leave your post unanswered.

Maybe try having a warm bath to try and ease it a bit. If that doesn't help then don't be scared to take paracetamol x

Hi OP. I had that crushing feeling very early on with my first. Dr put it down to round ligament pain and told me it was very common. Had a healthy DS!

All the best. Pregnancy is such an anxious time.

Thank you both for replying! I did have some paracetamol and a hot shower and it has eased off, it's still twingey but more around my hip/back of hip on my back now. I had the pain this morning but it was only on the one spot but after spending two hours driving it went all over my lower back, don't think that helped !
