I know that everything starts to become
un-balanced.. But does anyone else have
really bad back aches in the small of your
backs?
Feels as if you were punched in your back
and you have a bruise.. (tender some
times to touch)
the part of my back which coresponds to my
growing breast are okay!...
Does anyone else have really bad back
aches too? I am nearing 7 weeks!
Thanks!.. Everyone is great here..
Thanks for all the info!

You are definitly going to get alot of
aches and pains especially early on
because you body is changing. You have
your placenta forming and the fetus
growing like crazy right now. But if you
have a bruise... Maybe you hit yourself?

Don't Talk to Me About Back Pain !!!!! Posted: 07-04-05 01:01am
God, do I know how you feel !!!
I have 2 prolapsed (slipped) disks in my
lower back, and a sacroilliac joint
disfunction. It's an absolute joy let me
tell you.
Even if you don't have a previous injury,
or history of back pain, it's pretty
common to experience some in pregnancy.
There is a hormone called relaxin, which
is produced by the body during pregnancy,
which loosens your joints and ligaments to
make it easier to give birth.
This make you more prone to injury, as you
don't have the same stability as when you
are not prganat- so you have to be very
careful about your posture, and physical
activity.
The problems can get worse later, when the
baby is heavier, as this put's even more
pressure on your back.
It is importnat-especially if you are
already experiencing some pain- to
maintain good posture- try and remember
all the time- and also to use your stomach
muscles to hold the baby up and in. Use
the lower and middle abdonminal muscles
like a girdle- don't suck in, just tense
the muscles, and pull them in towards your
spine.-ask your doctor about it, or look
up some pregnancy posture tips. Pilates
type breathing and posture and pelvic
floor exercises will help too.
Whatever you do, don't arch your back and
let your tummy stick out in front- this is
the absolute worst thing you can do. It
feels natural when you are pregnant to
kind of throw your tummy out ( i'm sure
you've seen preganant women waddling
around lik they are being led by their
babies!!!!), but really try to remember to
stand straight. It ill save you a lot of
pain and discomfort, and will also prevent
your stomach muscles from stretching out
further than they need to.
