Hi I'm 17 weeks pregnant now, and last nyt I had awfull lower back pain, I could sleep becoz ov it, and I also felt really ill as well, like feeling sick, I've woken up this mrning and th pain is still there, it asn'treally bad its just enough to bother me, becoz people say it can be early labour or contractions or something ? :S.. I'm very worid... Anyone no what this could be? I think it may just be something to do with being pregnant but with me reading about ''early labour'' etc its very worrying, like th pain is not bad but it's there... Also I think its something bad becoz when I had a misscarrage last year I was very early on and had th same pains n feeling sick etc.. So I think this is why its worrying me a lot... Please help ! Lol

Since you had the same pain last year before you miscarried, of course call your doctor.

Phew, thanks for answering back.
There are ways to relieve lower back pain, such as lying on a pillow under it, and a moist heating pad (washcloth), and lifting your pelvis. Walk each day. Tub baths. Roughage in your diet so you move your bowels every day.
