Back Pain Early In Pregnancy? – Or, Isn't My Baby Still Little?

Sorting It All Out

When a woman becomes pregnant, the egg in her fallopian tube has become infiltrated by the little squiggly sperm. The egg finishes its trip down the fallopian tube and implants itself somewhere along the wall of the uterus. If the egg doesn't make it to the uterus, but instead implants along the wall of the fallopian tube – trouble! There isn't enough room within the fallopian tube to grow a baby! That pregnancy is doomed. The mother will experience abdominal cramping and bleeding, as her body works to expel the “misbehaving” egg.

Once the egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, it has to burrow its way inward. This releases a bit of blood, so some mommies-to-be will see a bit of spotting, about the time that they would normally have their menstrual period. The bit of spotting is really nothing to worry about – as long as it is brownish or pinkish and not bright red, and just a bit and not a lot of blood, things are going as they should.

After burrowing and getting situated, the egg will begin to produce hormones. These hormones (including progesterone – the one that makes the pregnant woman incredibly sleepy) are responsible for most of the symptoms that the pregnant woman will experience. Even that back pain, though early in pregnancy, is caused by those hormones that rise quickly. Symptoms of early pregnancy – acne, headaches, constipation, food cravings, swollen/tender breast with darkening areolas,...all are affected by these hormones.

What Can One Do About Back Pain Early In Pregnancy?

The best thing to do to support your back and avoid pain early in pregnancy is to take care of your back. Get the rest that you need, and the exercise that benefits your entire body. While you should be careful to not overdo it (in terms of exercise) you can and should keep up with any exercising you were doing prior to getting pregnant. Talk to your doctor about how long you can keep up that form of exercise. Some forms can be maintained throughout the pregnancy, and are beneficial, like walking and yoga. Others need to be modified once a little one is on the way – like distance running and mountain climbing. Chances are, the exercise you are doing will be fine. If you haven't been exercising, this is the perfect time to start! A safe way to begin is with adding a walk to your routine every day.
