What are the reasons for lower back pain in early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what causes lower back pain in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

This is normal. You can rest assured. If you're not reassured, you can have an ultrasound to check if the embryo's development is normal. If it is normal, you can relax. You should now take folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. The back pain will disappear after some time. This is the body's preparation to adapt to pregnancy.
