Question
Is it normal to have really bad lower back pain. Like it hurts to lay on my back at time.

Sadly from experience yes, I’ve got severe back pain and been having it since 10-12 weeks, I’ve got sciatica and pelvic girdle pain diagnosed by a physio therapist, apparently a lot of it clears up after birth but if you experienced it before pregnancy it may just not hurt as bad, try avoiding lying on your back and using a pillow between your legs and lying on your side! And exercises! You can find them on YouTube really easy :) also avoid sleeping on your back when possible so it’s safer for you and baby :) x

In my experience yes I have very bad lower back pain but also after 20 weeks it’s best to try not to lay on your back because it can put pressure on a major blood vessel which can cause issues and it puts weight on your spine and back muscles which can cause more pain
