8 Weeks Pregnancy Back Pain

 Things You Should Know About 8 weeks Pregnancy Back Pain

Pregnancy is never easy – even though some women seem to breeze right 

through without complications like Pregnancy Back Pain. For many women, however, 

this is something that happens and must be endured. That does not mean that 

the pain has to remain and that there is not something that can be done about it. 

There is typical pregnancy pain in the back and hips, 

and then there is excessive pain that can mean something else is wrong. 


Your obstetrician may tell you it is just a part of pregnancy,

 but if you can not walk, something else can be wrong. 

You may have to take matters into your own hands.


 


Many doctors assume a woman is having natural and common pregnancy back pain. 


Many woman are not ready for it, so they will ask if anything can be done.

 When a baby gains weight, it throws off the center of gravity

 and the heavy uterus pulls on the lower back. 


When this happens, the spine will curve in and cause discomfort. 

This is why you see many pregnant women walk with their hands on their hips 

or back when they are near their due date. This can help somewhat with the pain.

 This back pain is common in pregnancy and is something that only rest can help.

Pregnancy Back Pain

However, when a woman finds that she has pregnancy back pain so bad that she can not walk

 as early as the second trimester, there could be another problem.


 The body produces a hormone that relaxes the joints. 

This is so that the pelvis can spread a bit during labor and there 

will not be as much pain or damage to the mom. 


Sometimes, when too much of this hormone is released,

 the joints can spread too much and the spine and pelvic joints can go

 out of place. 

This type of pregnancy back pain can be helped if you go to the right person.


When you can not walk and the pain is unbearable,

 you may want to talk to a chiropractor. 

They can line your spine back up and make sure your joints are in place. 

You may have to see them a few times, but you can get much relief in just one visit. 


When searching for a chiropractor, seek out one that specializes in pregnant women. 


They should have a table with a removable section for your belly

 and have some special training in pregnancy. 


Keep their number handy as you may need them a few times before you deliver. 

You will be glad that you did.


Pregnancy back pain may not always be about the body alignment. 

It can also signal that something is wrong. Some pain is okay, 
 
but if you have throbbing lower back pain that comes out of nowhere 

and will not let up, this could be a sign of pre-term labor.

 Some women have what is called back labor, which can be especially painful.

 If this pregnancy back pain is accompanied by spotting and some contractions, 

call your doctor at once to rule out premature labor or other complications of pregnancy. 


8 weeks pregnant

Eight weeks pregnant also gives an exciting moment, especially for first time mothers. 

The baby is not the only one going through major changes but,

 also your uterus will continue to expand.



Eight weeks pregnant will be many changes in your breasts too (getting enlarged),

 so wearing maternity bras will get proper support and you will feel comfortable

 in them from the sore breasts. Due to so many changes within your body,

 it is also normal to get abdominal cramps. But in case the pain

 is unbearable then do consult your offline doctor.



Babys condition at 8 weeks pregnant:

  • All major organs and body parts are in place.
  • The spinal column is now flexible and moveable.
  • Your babys heart is beating with a regular rhythm.
  • Arms and legs grow and finger and toe buds appear.
  • The teeth have started forming under your babys gums.
  • Eyelids have formed and the eyes move forward to the face.
  • The genitals have appeared and are now either testes or ovaries.
  • Baby starts moving and kicking but is still too small for you to feel it.

Baby is about one inch long or 14 mm to 20 mm,

weights around 1/10 of an ounce and looks more like a person. 

The growth of the baby will happen fast from now onwards.

Mothers condition at 8 weeks pregnant:


  • Your breasts are larger and probably sore.
  • The uterus has gone from plum-size to orange-size.
  • As uterus presses on bladder, youll have to pee more often.
  • You may have heartburn or nausea, which should pass by week 12.

You may begin to feel to urinate more often. This is perfectly natural 

during pregnancy and should not raise concern. At 8 weeks pregnant your doctor

 would probably tell you that your uterus is now the size of a grapefruit. 


Just think your uterus at the beginning was no bigger in size than a plum. 


Your body needs more sleep now that you’re growing a little body inside of you.

 It is important to try to get more sleep, so that you’re not tired during the day. 

Conclusion

And due to the pressure the uterus is putting on the lower

 part of the spine at 8 weeks pregnant you may experience a lower 

backache which is common during pregnancy.
