Q: Backache - I Am So Devestated

Hi, I had a missed miscarriage in november and found out last sunday that i'm pregnant again. I'm about 4-1/2 weeks. I'm terrified and every symptom I have, I am afraid is a bad one. Starting yesterday, I have a low backache with the ache going down the back of my legs. It's not terrible...Feels like a charlie-horse (old term). I can't get comfortable. Has anyone experienced this? I keep reading that backaches are both a symptom of pregnancy and a sign of pending miscarriage. I don't have cramping in my abdomen. Just this awful ache which gets worse when i'm sitting or laying on my back.

Looks Like It's a Miscarriage

Continued to have the aches all night and woke up this morning to spotting. It's getting heavier as the morning goes on. Still no cramps...Just back ache. I am heartbroken. I am 37, newly married and this is my second miscarriage in 6 months.

gee way to be sympathetic...Not... What do you mean "people need to learn"?? I dont think she asked "what should I do?"

this , as she clearly stated, is her second misscarige -if thats what it is -so im sure she knows to call her doctor by now. It looks to me as if she is just updating because her symptoms changed...

By the way heidi so sorry for you r loss/es I know how horrible that is. I lost my first pregnancy at five months and it was truly horroific. Again nso so sorry. Take care of yourself.

Hello!!

I also had a miscarriage nov. I am now pregnant again 8weeks. I'm scared to death but I know god is going to do what he thinks is best for us. I have back pains too but I sit at a desk alllllll dayyyyyy and I cant stand to sit up stright. I dont have any real strange signs like I did last time. I get morning sickness now when I did not have any last time,no cramping I cramped all the time last time,weight gain I lost weight last time. Its just everything is different now. Have you been to the doctor yet? Just hoping everything is going ok for you. I know how you feel I dont know what to think, i'm always scared that something going to happen to my baby.
