lower back and hip pain

deleted_user

So i'm 10 weeks pregnant and for the last day or two i've had really bad lower back and hip pain. Is this normal or should I be worried? I've been taking tylenol sparingly but it doesn't seem to help. Would it be ok to use a heating pad on a low setting on my back or is that a no no? Please help!!

It is normal to be achy, so I would not worry too much unless it gets severe. You may want to call your doctor just in case though. Heating pads are great and really the only way to alleviate pain during pregnancy. Take care and I hope you get to feeling better.

i had back pain in my first preg. doc said thats a sign that you will have back labor.
which i did not.

i also had it in my mc preg.
im having it in this preg too. and should be safe for carrying to term. the later the preg the more the baby sits on your hips more back anc and hips will hurt.

I'm glad to know this is somewhat normal and i'll be buying a heating pad tomorrow lol. I'm small but a little overweight i'm only about 5'1 so i wondered if it wasn't things just stretching and widening?

That is also another cause of pain. Everything starts stretching and preparing for baby to come out...even this early. It will do it all through your pregnancy. I got lucky and did not really have any pains until like my 6 month. Good luck and heating pads are wonderful!!!

By the way, I am only 5'1" also. I know how it is. And when baby gets bigger it seems like shorter ppl have less room than taller ppl. I dont know if that is true but my little boy is always under my ribs. I am 35 weeks though. Good luck.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
