Backpain

I am having my fourth child, I am only 5 weeks and I am constipated,bloated,cramping and having lower backpains. Is it too early to be feeling like that? I never had these problems with my other three.

girl i had back pain starting early (i have a history of it) and im super bloated too since the beginning. ive had some cramping too. At 5 1/2 weeks i had my first ultrasound bc of a history of 2 miscarriages and the doc found a cyst that had formed when i got preg. she said that it was very common for women to get this. she said that it should be gone by 12 weeks. she said they chst gives off hormones to keep the baby alive. come to find out the severe back pain cramps and all are from this cyst. it is 7cm in size. im not saying this is what u may have but i just thought i would share my story, i am now 9 weeks and she said once the cyst goes away i should feel like my old self again. the doc had to prescribe me to lortab bc i was in so much awful pain. im starting to feel better now tho. keep us updated!

Thanks so much!...I am feeling better. I had a stillborn at 9 months with my last one, so that's why I  was a little nervous.

It's not too early. Each pregnancy is different. I am 7 weeks and I've already had sciatic pain issues.

No, its not too early.   Many people experience these complaints this early on into a pregnancy and, since each pregnancy is different,  its not possible to tell what symptoms you might experience with subsequent pregnancy's.
