Low backache in early pregnancy?

[hammycakes]

Just found out a couple of days ago. So far so good, no spotting but today my back has started to hurt. Could feel like cramps, but it's way down low in my back.. just wondering if anyone else had experienced/remembered that symptom in early pregnancy.. it's been a while for me and I'm kinda paranoid!
TIA

This is my 2nd pregnancy. I had a 51 hour back labor with DD and some postpartum pelvic alignment problems.

I am feeling low back pain on and off. I've been going to the chiropractor and getting back rubs with arnica from DH and DD or myself if nobody is around. Both have helped quite a bit.

Although I have no reason to suspect miscarriage I do often go to the bathroom just to check for blood if my back seems particularly achy.

i'm pretty sure it's normal...hope so since i'm having low-back pain today...

What form is the arnica in? Oil, lotion? Might need to try that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has those fears- sometimes I feel like I'm being really irrational!

I had lower back ache from before I ever got the BFP!! That was one clue I had that I was pregnant because I rarely get backaches. I would say it is normal. :)

Have you been drinking enough water? Low back ache could be your kidneys.

i was also wondering about this one, i posted a thread "lower back pain...normal" you can probably still see it.
I've tried heat, and that seems to work really well, also some other people suggested a chiropractor, which i don't think is such a bad idea. I think I'm going to make an apt. some time this week. Hope that helped.
