Is back pain common in early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large, so the symptoms of lower back pain are generally not very pronounced. However, some women still experience lower back pain. This is mainly because the fertilized egg implants and gradually grows, stimulating the uterus, and hormonal levels also change at this time. The lower back pain caused by the uterus being stimulated by pregnancy is normal, and women should not worry too much.
