back pain and breathlessness

[Sugarmuffin]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have really bad back ache, seems like sciatica. Does anyone know if its safe to get a back massage so early in Pregnancy..

I also feel so out of breath already. Is it normal. I had a urine test to check for protein it was negative. Now I have to go through blood tests to make sure no other problem

I think a massage should be ok as long as the masseuse knows that you are pregnant and is qualified to do pregnancy related massages. I got back ache very early on too which I didn't understand as thought it would only come with the weight of a big bump but it's the hormones in your body making everything relax and stretch etc.
The out of breath thing- well yep that's a classic pregnancy symptom and only gets worse!
ENjoy!
