6 weeks - sore lower back and achey legs??

[kthompo]

Hi everyone,

Just over 6 weeks pregnant and having lower back pain (like I would when I have my period) and achey legs?

Has anyone else had this?

All that’s ever on my mind is miscarriage as I have had 2 this year 🥺

I did have a scan yesterday and could see fetal pole and some flickering (hoping a heartbeat but consultant said still a bit early to hear)

Any advise/words would be so appreciated

Thank you x

congratulations on confirming on your scan your pregnancy. That’s amazing news. It’s crazy how pregnancy can differ for everyone. Same as you just little over 6 weeks and all I have currently is sensitive boobs. It felt more sensitive before and has calmed down now. I panicked and thought I was having a miscarriage as I have no other symptoms. My first scan is next week and I just can’t wait to know if everything is ok.

Sorry about your miscarriages which you’ve experienced, must have been so so so heartbreaking. I hope this isn’t the case for you, keep strong and hope you get some more answers. Sending positive vibes ♥️

Hope all is good with you so far 💋💋

I’m the same - very little symptoms other than sore boobs and then some back and leg pain yesterday. Today so far that’s gone so I’m hoping it’s things just stretching or maybe because I’m so busy in work at this time of year my body is just tired!

It’s hard not to worry - but your nearly there for your scan and it will be amazing news I’m sure 🥰

Thank you !!!

Yes, this is why my GP signed me off straight away this rounds, to help abc it sure has I’m ever so grateful.

I hope the pain you’re feeling is just your body adjusting to make room for your little bean. It’s crazy how we worry for everything when we should be at peace at this time 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Keep positive and thank you again x

So when pregnant we produce more of a hormone called relaxisin, this helps to relax muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints so that your body can handle the effects of a growing fetus which causes aches and pains.

Thank you so much for replying ♥️ I really appreciate it!

Hoping this is the case 🤞🤞

Starsallaround makes a good point. I was going to say..maybe it's the hormones but didn't know the exact name! If your on progesterone as well, then that may contribute. I am sorry for your previous losses and I know how scary it is to be pregnant after miscarriages. Try to take it one day at a time and make time to relax. Maybe some guided meditation might help. I use the free ones on you tube. I also had hypnotherapy which really helped me. That's great news that your scan went well. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I wish you a happy and successful one. X

Yes on progesterone too - so maybe all the build up of being on it for weeks it’s starting to have side effects!

Today touch wood it’s not bad at all! So hoping it was just things stretching and growing yesterday!

Thank you so much xx

I'm glad you posted this. I'm just over 5.5 weeks and have got weird achy legs today, like I get on my period. Good to know it's not just me! I have a week to wait for my scan.

[kthompo in reply to Bimsie1310]

Awww you will be absolutely fine 💜. I would say it’s just some of these weird and random symptoms people can’t!

Good luck with your scan 💋
