Symptoms

[hello1231]

Hi is it normal to have constant lower back ache and light head ache like pressure on the top of your head , I have had both these symtoms since finding out I am pregnant, (5 weeks and 2 days now) worried about the headache as internet says it could be high blood pressure ?


Thanks

Can I ask what kind of job you do/have? If it's a desk job it could be the chair. I also am 5 weeks 4 days and experiencing lower back ache. Don't be too worried. It may just be a signed of you being uncomftable. xx

Yeah sure currently not working , I am a carer at home but even then I haven't done any heavy lifting etc but like u say iit may just be the body adjusting! How r u feeling so far any other symptoms ? xxxx

with backache might be worth handing a urine sample to your GP- sometimes can be a sign of urine infection but you'd probably have some symptoms of going more often etc

yeah I have been going to bathroom very frequently

I'm currently suffering headaches too. It can be quite common in early pregnancy, it's due to hormones, and should subside. You can take paracetamol if it's becoming bothersome. Good idea to see your GP though, even to put your mind at rest x
