23 Weeks With Horrible Pain Posted: 08-18-07 19:33pm


i am 23 weeks and one day as of today and ive been haveing horrible lower back pain since about week 14 but for the past few days its been spreading up to the middle of my back as well as my lower back. its more like a strain than anything. also i have been haveing bad streatchy feeling in my stomach (ligament streatching maybe?) and i can feel kristen move completely onto one side of my stomache... its very uncomfortable. i am just wondering if anyone has expierienced any of this at all? i have an appointment on the 29th but im kindof thinking i should go in before then or call my docotr to see what she thinks?

If you think you should go to the doc than that is what you should do. Being pregnant is full of aches, pains, and ailments. Your body is going through so many changes. Wait until week 37 and you'll be long for your 23 week pains.

My back has been killing me too. Not all the time, but sometimes. It stays in the lower back. But back pain is a part of pregnancy too. I had horrible back pain with my first.

ilovemyfishes ... At 23weeks it wouldnt be a miscarriage, it would be preterm labor, in which case the baby is now Viable...meaning it would be extremely premature. However...I think it sounds like normal aches and pains. I am only 15weeks and a few days and I have horrible backpain everyday. If you are worried though, ifyou can, go to your dr earlier. Cant hurt!

a late misscarriage is what it would be, unless you actually delivered the baby then, i had a friend whose water broke at 20 wks, and had to deliver her lil boy right then and there, he was stillborn.

pre term labor starts at 23 weeks. although i think the age of viability has changed to 21 weeks?

Just wondering, why is your doctor checking your cervix so soon? I thought they didn't start doing that till your close to your due date. Just curious. Smile

in the uk they dont check the cervix until you've actually gone into hospital and in labour, so thats a bit strange to me

That is sorta odd that they are checking your cervix so soon. I didn't get mine checked until I went into the hospital with preterm labor(I was 34 weeks). If I hadn't gone into the hospital then they would've checked me at 36 weeks whenever I got my GBS test. Any time before that is risky because every internal is a chance to get an infection.
