Can lower back pain be a early sign of pregnancy?

Oh absolutely, it can be! During early pregnancy, hormonal changes and ligaments loosening up can cause a dull ache in your lower back even before you miss your period. The best way to be sure is to just wait a couple of days and do a simple home pregnancy test.

Haha, yes! My back pain started in week 4 and honestly, it was just the trailer for the 9-month movie of no sleep. If you are also feeling randomly exhausted and missing your period, go grab a test kit from the chemist. Good luck, you'll need the rest!

Actually yaar, that was my very first symptom! I thought I just pulled a muscle at the gym, but then my period was late by two days. Did a test and it was positive. If you have other symptoms like mild cramping or breast tenderness, definitely take a test.

Yes, back pain is common due to progesterone rising in early pregnancy. Make sure you are eating magnesium and calcium-rich foods like leafy greens and dairy to support your body. But before changing any diet or taking supplements, take a home pregnancy test first.

It can be, but don't stress yourself guessing. A pregnancy test card costs only 50-60 rupees at any medical shop and gives results in 5 minutes. If it's positive, consult a doctor immediately. If negative, your backache might just be due to posture or sitting too long.
