back and leg ache at 4 weeks - coincidence or pregnancy related?

[froggy16]

Hi, I am 4weeks pregnant, and suffering with really bad lower back ache and aching legs. Is this related to being pregnant? I didn't have this with either of my other 2.
Been looking it up on google, and only seems to be connected with alot later on in pregnancy.

Oh I had this too. I am now nearly 10 weeks and actually had to take pain killers (paracetamol) to take the edge off it. Honestly, I've never known an ache like it before! It was in the small of my back and the longer I left it the more it travelled down my ass and into the backs of my legs.

So yeah, it was a sympton with me. Google back ache early pregnancy and it'll show you what it is, ligament stuff.

Froggy with my first pregnancy, i had really bad lower bad ache, and aching legs to the point where i wanted to cry.

Hopefully it won't last long. Good luck.

I had this this time round (no 4 preg). My local hospital does special on off workshops for early pregnancy back pain. So it must be quite common.

Thanks everyone, it's been so bad, especially at night, I hope it eases soon. Paracetamol does take the edge off.

Hi, I'm also 4 weeks ! What is your due date? I have lower back pain ache too! but then again i do have a bad back ! but it does seem to be worse so maybe it is the pregnancy!

Hi Sparkle, my due date is june 13th, whens yours?!

My LMP was April 12th, I have a 28 day cycle, didnt miss a period, but we were trying to conceive this month. Since last week I have a bloated tummy and strong ligament pain. Could this be related to pregnancy.
