I am 20 weeks pregnant. Back pain already?
I am not overweight at the start. I have gotten a little belly on me, and I gained about 10 lbs This pregnancy. I have HORRIBLE back pain on my right side. It almost feels right to come on where is my kidney. I know it's not kidney stones because the pain comes and goes. Seems to be worse after I wake up in the morning or I'm sitting at my desk for a long time work. I use a heating pad on low at night to help me sleep (it has automatic shutoff after two hours I think). Is it weight gain, poor posture? Other ideas?
Unfortunately this is that the baby inside ... there no you can do outside of what you already do. Make sure you are sitting up straight and sleep as comfortable as possible. Your baby can rest on one side of you than the other which is causing one side to be heavier ... you may not notice. Her little foot or an arm can be stung something or is it just the way your uterus grows. My condolences ... hehe ... I had back pain throughout my pregnancy. Wait until the baby is sitting on your sciatic nerve. You think someone pinched nerve most delicate in your body. I jumped out of bed and pace the house (painfully) until it changed its position. Obviously, you need to make your current OB if it is something serious internal. Do not take drugs ... other than Tylenol ... Good luck!
