I am a 39 year old female. Pregnant for the 2nd time. I am only 6 wks pregnant and I am experiencing lower back pain and occasional abdominal cramping (light). No bleeding. Is this normal?
Cramping is very normal during pregnancy. Many woman report that they feel like they are going to start their period anytime, because of the cramping and back aches, during the first few months. This is because of the uterus stretching to accomodate the baby. Sometimes yoga and stretching exercises will help with this and ease some of the discomfort along with the many other benefits, just becareful to do it in moderation.
