I am 16 weeks pregnant and have been having lower back ache for the last week now for the last 3 days accompanied with stomach aches that do no change with rest or position or release of gas. They are not crampy but feel like a dull tearing ache. Sometimes so uncomfortable I cant even finish a meal.

I asked a health care professional who said maybe it was hormonal???? but they were unsure. is this cause for concern?

Thank you,
Lisa

Your pains are coming from your aching ligaments. You get these pains when your uterus starts to stretch and your body starts to get more and more adjusted and ready to deliver. By you being 16 weeks, it's the perfect time for your pains to start. I know because I am 18 weeks pregnant myself, and I started dealing with my abdomen pain about 2 weeks ago. There's nothing to be worried about. Just your body getting prepared for the growth you'll be going through within the months to come before you actually deliver. Hope that info helps you out.
