Lower back pain during pregnancy

I also suffered with lower back pain throughout my entire pregnancy. The only thing that helped was lying on my side with a pillow under my belly.

Wear a brace, it will ease the load on your lower back. I started wearing one even before I had much of a belly, but it was hard to walk without it. Just make sure to consult with your doctor first.

Rejoice that you don't have any nastiness like hematomas or detachment. Lower back pain is nothing.

It hurts too. And aches. I'm enduring it. I'll ask about the brace only at the end of January (( if I don't forget as usual.

14 weeks and already back pain? Why could this be, since there's not even much of a belly yet...

Has the pilonidal sinus become infected? With extension to the bones, meninges...

The brace really helps me a lot.

Mine also started around the same time—I couldn’t sit, lie down, stand up, or straighten my leg. I massaged it and rested, and by the 20th week, it went away. But now I can’t sit because it feels like my spine is falling apart. I’m going to get a support belt, and I recommend you do the same.

Who knows, honestly. My back hurt throughout my entire pregnancy too. Progesterone somehow affects that. From 18 weeks on, I wore a support belt, otherwise it would have been a total disaster. Don't worry, author, it'll pass once you give birth. Although, after giving birth, I went to see an osteopath; he adjusted something, and now I feel fantastic.

I've been suffering for a month too!!! Now it's week 20... It's getting worse and worse every day... The doctor told me to buy a Kuznetsov applicator and lie on it... Nothing else is allowed, I wanted to go for acupuncture but that's not allowed either! Sometimes I can't even get up on my own, I crawl on all fours...((

Thank you all for your responses. It seems like day 2 has passed, but I know this is just the "calm before the storm," and everything will start all over again. I decided to find out in advance how to deal with the "enemy." My back has been hurting since week 8, and at first, I thought, "Well, I'm pregnant, so it must be normal..." But when I was bathing the dog after a walk, I bent down to pick her up, and that was it—I just froze. I could somehow stand on one leg, but on two, it was with tears...

Believe me, when it really hits hard, you don't even know what you'd prefer! But God willing, let this be the most serious problem of my pregnancy time.

Same here, getting up is the hardest part... It feels like I'm some kind of old woman!!! If my husband didn't lift me, there would probably be moments when I'd just lie there like a corpse...(( Massage doesn't help either((

I had lower back pain at the end of my first pregnancy, at the end of my second pregnancy, and after giving birth. After childbirth, I did special spinal exercises recommended by Dr. Bubnovsky, and after those exercises, I also worked out on a health disc. With 2-3 weeks of daily exercises, I recovered. However, my second delivery was via C-section, and I only started exercising a month after the surgery.

But my lower back didn't hurt as severely as the author's; the pain was tolerable.

This is uterine tone, you definitely need to get an IV drip, go see a doctor. For those with the placenta in the front, the stomach hurts during tone. And for those with the placenta on the back wall of the uterus, the back hurts.

Most likely you're right, I was also surprised why my lower back hurts so much at such an early stage. The belly is still small and there's no significant load on the lower back. Author, ask your gynecologist about uterine tone and don't delay with this.

My back didn't hurt during pregnancy, but oh my goooooood, how it hurt during labor!

Yes, there was tone at the beginning, but I had a screening a week ago and there was no tone, even though those were exactly the days it hurt the most!

I also had pain during my first pregnancy, during childbirth, and after it, and now during my second pregnancy, it aches. To the point of tears. After giving birth, I still carried the baby, and it was hell for my back. After breastfeeding, I had an MRI, and it showed both a protrusion and a cyst, and (I forgot what it's called) fusion of the vertebrae with the coccyx. That's where all the pain came from. At least now I know what hurts.

And it was also mentioned above that progesterone affects this. So forget about "timelines"—many here are surprised. Everyone is different. No two pregnancies are the same.

Wear a support belt, it helped me a lot.

However, the baby must be in the head-down position. Until the baby assumes this position, there are restrictions on using the support belt.

I've also been lying down for the second day, my lower back hurts, and I feel the tension. Papaverine, No-Spa, valerian—everything all at once. Girls, what else helps relieve tension at 17 weeks?

Magnesium in gynecology. No-Spa didn't help me at all.

Nadia, good afternoon! Try the Kuznetsov applicator. It helps me a lot with back pain and relaxes my muscles. I lie on it for half an hour every day before bed, and when the pain is severe, there's simply no better remedy. Wishing you good health!

During pregnancy, many suffer from lower back pain. Mine also started hurting even before my belly was visible. The Dorsaplast patch helped me—I applied it for 12 hours overnight. It works well—relieves pain and inflammation.

I was doing fine until 25 weeks, but now my back is killing me, and I have no energy. It's awful, I don't even know what to do anymore.

Well, of course, the baby is growing, there's more amniotic fluid, so it's heavy, hence the back pain. I remember there were days when I could barely get out of bed, Versatis helped a lot—it's this lidocaine patch, really eases the pain. Pregnant women can use it because it acts locally, so if it gets really bad, I highly recommend it.

Poor us, girls!! My back is also hurting terribly, and today I slipped—barely managed to stay upright—and pulled a muscle in my groin. Now I'm just lying here, completely out of it. 😣

I had a hematoma at 6 weeks. Everything turned out fine, knock on wood.

Hello, is it really okay to use a patch during pregnancy?
