Early Pregnancy Back Ache

[AnnMS]

Just found out im 5 weeks pregnant and im suffering from severe lower back ache and have been for a week now, cant get appointment at doctors to confirm pregnancy or see about back until next wednesday - anyone else suffer from severe back ache this early on?

I had bad back ache at about 6 weeks, lasted for a week or so then went away. Now, I'm 10+6 and I had sciatic pain called Pelvic Girdle Pain. I found resting and not being on my feet so much helped and sleeping on my side rather than back, also used my pillows as probs to relieve the pressure.
