Advice please?

Anyone have lower back pain in early pregnancy and have a positive outcome? I have had a tiny bit brown discharge (sorry tmi) and a spec of pink Monday but nothing since, slight cramping on and off but my back has been really bad today I have not been able to move much. I have read back pain can be a sign of miscarriage but not pregnancy

I am so nervous and constantly on pins

Thank all xx

My mam had a sore back and went to the doctor and it was me! She was pregnant. It was a long time ago but hopefully reassures you a bit.

I had back pain from very early on in my pregnancy, my little boy is 6 months old now :)

I had backache and period cramps my whole pregnancy even more so the first trimester. I also had spotting/brown blood up till 9w6d and now have a gorgeous little boy who is 1 in 2 weeks. At epu they told me back ache/cramps even spotting normal as everything stretching and why always feeling about to start period. I had the worst pains first few weeks. Congratulations hun x

Hi.

The 2WW is awful isn’t it?!

I had what I thought was AF cramps 3 days before my period was due & was convinced I was out- it implantation cramps! Also i get backache regularly & im 5 weeks pregnant.

Haha I’m now waiting to get out of the first trimester ,so always waiting 🤣🤣🤣

Wishing you the best & hope your cycle is successful 😘 xoxo

Sorry damn pregnancy brain, I thought you were on the 2ww!!

I get twinges & cramps it also really worries me.

I’m also 5 weeks 4 days too!!! 😘

From what I’ve read online it is very normal as the baby is growing & uterus is stretching ( but scary isn’t it) & also some spotting at 6 weeks is very normal. Only if it’s bright red & heavy that should be a concern. Do contact your GP if you are worried xoxo

Thank you for your reply. Haha we have the same dates. I have had a fair bit of brown and a bit of red blood but not much. Drs referred me to the epu but they won't see me till tomorrow (I can't go then as it's OH b-day and don't want bad news on his day again, we lost our last on father's Day last year and it was awful) I told the clinic I would deal with it at home and they didn't seem bothered. For now I still have positive test so I guess I'm still pregnant and my cramps have gone so trying to think positive xxx

Oh my goodness tho what a awful time to lose a baby. Never a good day but Father’s Day how cruel.😢

I had a chemical pregnancy last year & it does makes you worry more.

I had to wait a week & half till scam because bleeding happened so early on 😢 I also wouldn’t want to go to EPU again, really get that.

It’s good that you are getting a positive ( once my chemical pregnancy began I got negative tests) & the fact it’s only light spotting not heavy bleeding is better 😊. With my chemical pregnancy i bled very heavily & i knew it was going. I can understand why you worry tho & id be the same.

I had some severe cramps & twinges with backache & bloated on Wednesday I totally freaked out & thought the worst, but no bleeding ( I was convinced there would be) I’m hoping it’s because there was scar tissue left from endo removal ( it was on my uteroscaral ligaments) & all the uterus expanding is making it flare up 🤞🏻

Also as baby grows your uterus expands you get twinges & cramps but it’s a sign baby is growing well? That’s how I will try to see it.

When are booking to see the midwife? I’ve got to wait till I’m 8 weeks! It seems ages away!! 🤣 It’s one long waiting game xoxo

Thank you that has slightly reassured me on my back ache. It is the most horrible time I want to be happy but am so scared. A simple test by clinics could reassure me but they are not helping, they clearly have no idea how it effects mental health more than anything. I have a scan booked at my clinic on the 22nd Oct, seems ages away. Xxx

I'm a bfp newbie so I haven't gone through to the back pains yet 😥 but my symptoms are coming and going so try not to worry so much! But having said that every little thing sends a shock down my spine and the first thing I can think of is am I having a MC!!!

in reply to Mifkipi

I do the same if it makes you feel better but hubby tells me it’s normal! It is an anxious time isn’t it xoxo

The first thing I do when I wake up now is to poke my boobs to make sure they are still hurting 😶 sometimes I get so worried I keep poking them at work too 🙄 people must think I'm a weirdo but I can't care less!
