bad backache at 6.5wks

[hopefulLady]

I am 6.5wks pregnant and for the last couple of days, I have a killing backache :-(
I do usually have a weak lower back.. but it used to ache only when I would stress out doing something strenous or like lifting a weight...

But now, even with a good night's sleep, my lower back feels sprained as if it would break! Its worse if I stand.
Does anyone else have a bad backache too?

I was scared of using a heat bag on my bag as it could be dangerous for the baby.. any suggestions?

thank you! :) I think that's the best thing to do, and I really hope it feels better!

i will call my doc tomorrow and ask about that. thanks for the tip, I hope to be able to use a heat pack, as it usually helps me a lot.
Congrats on your BFP!!

heat should be fine as long as you're not apply a huge pack that covers your belly too..I had kidney stones while pregnant and used heatpacks per my doctors instructions the whole time....but you should talk to your doctor. backaches can be normal, even severe ones, but it turned out to be kidney stones for me and they're actually fairly common in pregnant women. if nothing else your doctor can recommend how long to use heat therapy for!
