I am currently 22 weeks pregnant, and for the past two days I've been having really bad lower back pain, the pain I would normally get when I am about to start my period. I am wondering if I need to call my doctor, or if this is normal durning pregnancy?

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I'm also experiencing back pain since I have been 12 weeks, I was told there is nothing to worry about, back pain is just all part of pregnancy and will probably get worse. I was told to take some paracetamol when it hurts, as far as I know, these pain killers are safe is pregnancy but check with your doctor before taking any medication.

Thank you adviceishere! I will let my doctor know about the lower back pain when I see him Friday, hopefully he will give me something to relieve it. Congrats on your pregnancy! I hope all goes well with your pregnancy!

Thank you and best of luck to you too :)
