Is Back Pain Common During Early Pregnancy?
Question: Hi I found out a week ago I was pregnant via home pregnancy test which said 5 weeks plus. Two days ago I developed bad back pain and also had a dark brown show. The show has happen again but the back pain has not gone away. It's like a burn straight down my spine. And I'm having bad headaches and hot and cold flushes.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal changes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and symptoms and in my opinion it is due to hormonal changes.
But one more important thing which should be ruled out first is ectopic pregnancy.
So first get ultrasound scan to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
Back ache is quite common during early pregnancy and it is due to hormonal changes.
Hope to hear from you with your ultrasound report.
Good luck.
Regards

This is not normal back pain I just had a baby in April so I'm aware of what sort of back to experience during pregnancy. This is constant burning and stabbing pain to my lower back and to the front left of my stomach

Hello dear,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
If you are aware of pregnancy back pain and in your opinion it is not due to that ,there are few more causes of your concern.
But I would like to ask a few questions before giving my opinion about it.
Are you suffering from foul smelling vaginal discharge?
Are you having any other associated symptoms?
Are you overactive or working for long hours?
Taking any treatment?
Are you having difficulty in urination and burning?
Are you having constipation?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck.
