Is back pain a symptom of early pregnancy?

There are many symptoms that female friends show after detecting early pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting, amenorrhea, etc., but these symptoms basically disappear by the third month of pregnancy; in addition, back pain is also a symptom of early pregnancy, but it is not very obvious in the early pregnancy, and it will be more obvious after the second trimester.

In addition to symptoms such as amenorrhea, nausea, and vomiting during pregnancy, back pain is also normal. This early pregnancy symptom is mainly due to the fact that the fertilized egg gradually grows after implantation, which stimulates the uterus and sometimes causes uterine contractions. At this time, the hormone levels also change to a certain extent, so this is back pain caused by the stimulation of the uterus during pregnancy.

Generally speaking, what we call low back pain occurs more frequently in the middle and late stages. Especially after 25 or 26 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and reaches the abdominal cavity. This is because as the belly grows, the normal physiological arc and curvature of the spine change, especially when the mother is standing. The reason why pregnant mothers will experience back pain when they first become pregnant is mainly because when the mother stands, the back muscles and the muscles on both sides of the spine have to bear more weight, so she will obviously feel back pain. Generally speaking, we also think that this kind of low back pain is normal and most people experience it.

In addition, the phenomenon of back pain in early pregnancy is also partly due to the influence of hormonal changes. During pregnancy, physiological hormones will change, causing the joints and ligaments of pregnant women to relax to a certain extent, resulting in the traction of the ligaments being worse than before, and even the joints sometimes dislocating to a certain extent (such as lumbar disc herniation), etc. However, this is also a normal early pregnancy phenomenon, so pregnant mothers will not worry too much!
