Has anyone pulled a back muscle in early pregnancy?

Has anyone pulled a back muscle during pregnancy?

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and I stupidly took out 2 heavy bin bags yesterday that weighed about 8kg combined.

I only carried them for a few mins but when I got inside my back was in agony.

I can't bend over and I'm really sore, I've pulled my back before so I'm pretty sure it's just that as I don't have any stomach pain

Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm so worried I've hurt the baby and I'm soo annoyed with myself for taking out those bloody bags!

Oh bless you xx

You won’t have hurt baby, baba is all tucked up nice. Problem is all your ligaments relax due to hormone changes making it easier to hurt yourself. Just rest now, take it easy. Paracetamol and a heat patch or hot water bottle to ease thing xx

Thank you that's reassuring! That makes sense as it didn't seem heavy when I picked it up and I'm used to carrying heavy things. Definitely won't be doing that again! 🙈 xx
