I am 5+1 weeks pregnant and I'm getting constant lower back ache. Have had it for days now! With on and off period pains too! Can this be normal? Tia x

Hi OP, I know you posted this a while ago, but just came across it now as I’m having the same symptoms! How is everything for you? X

Hi, I am now 22+4 weeks and I'm still getting them now so I'm assuming they are normal xx

congratulations, glad everything is going well for you and little one! That’s comforting to know!
I had a missed miscarriage back in feb, I’m not 5 weeks and a few days, so I’m super paranoid now 🙈 I’ve been having some cramping, nothing unbearable, just feels like period pains but my backs been sore across the bottom for about a week now!
thank you for messaging back x

Thank you!
I completely understand. I've had 2 miscarriages in the past and the anxiety never goes! I always felt like I was going to come on any minute. I still get that feeling now sometimes too! Xx

Ah sorry to hear that!
its so difficult isn’t it! I kept telling myself when we started trying again that I’d need to be calm, not stress, not run away with it either. But I’ve only known 1 week and I think I’ve driven myself insane already 😅 x

Totally the same as me! Lol I done about 100 tests lol!!!
Even now I'm the same. I'm feeling movements everyday and quite a lot so thought that may help but nope I'm still a nervous wreck lol xx

Doesn’t get any easier then 😅 so difficult once you’ve experienced a lose isn’t it!

im debating booking a private scan at 8 weeks, which is when I lost last time, maybe try break the wait until the 12 week scan up a bit 🙈
I’ve got two children already 10 and 5! Never had any anxiety at all with pregnancy until my lose in feb! Now I’m a mess 🙈😅
never experience back ache with either of my children so early on either! So think I’m running away with it x
