Lower back pain

sefferj

I am 5 weeks and 1 day today and have been experiencing lower back pain. I am a nurse and on my feet all day at work. I have had some mild low back pain for the past week and a half, but it has gotten worse. It starts out mild in the am, but the more I am on my feet and the day goes on it gets pretty bad. Does anyone else experience this? I am waiting to tell my coworkers until I am a bit further along but almost feel like I need to ask for more frequent breaks to help alleviate the pain. I hope I am not alone with this. If anyone else has gone through this, does anything help or does it just get worse?. All aches aside, I am thrilled to be pregnant!
