My achy, breaky back?

Cheryl Renee

All day long I've felt like I swallowed a rock!  I guess thats how you would describe it.  Lots of pressure in my lower abdomen.  I'm assuming baby is just growing and stretching in there!  But now my lower back has started aching also.  Does this just go along with my abdominal pressure and stretching?  I just wondered if there was a connection.  May seem like dumb question but its my first pregnancy and so this is all new!  Very exciting, but lots of changes and questions I suppose.
