I've been really stressing. This is baby#3. Most definitely all pregnancies are different. I've been afraid to tell anyone about my back pain. I'm almost six weeks and was afraid something might be wrong. So relieved to hear it seems normal. Thanks ladies.

They have pregnancy bands at walmart that are suppose to help a ton. They aren't a bad price either. I wear a back brace at work and it works wonders. I'm going to go get the pregnancy band tomorrow for home.

Magnesium tablets helped me but they take a while to work. I had back pain from week 3 - it's nothing to do with size of baby. Your hormones relax your ligaments all over your body, leading to back pain, being more likely to get injuries, and heartburn.
