[quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience:

Yesterday, at 9w1d, I was sitting in my office at work when I started to get the first sign of slight back pain. This is my second pregnancy to progress this far, so I figured it is just my body releasing some relaxin and things will just be a bit looser feeling from here on out. Uncomfortable, but it’s pregnancy, so what are you going to do?

Over the next couple of hours it started progressing to the point where I could barely stand up without pulling myself by my desk. I called my OB’s office, they advised me to see my PCP. I went to my PCP, no sign of infection or clear signs of miscarriage (at this point). They gave me Tylenol and sent me on my way with instructions to seek emergency care if I see certain signs.

Now I can barely sit up without leaning on a support. It feels like I have lost much of my core strength around my lumbar spine in less than 24 hours. I am trying to do stretches like cat-cows, but I can’t make my way past a flat back to do the cow, I can’t only do the cat.

I am terrified that I won’t be able to move around for the rest of my pregnancy (if I go to term). Prior to this, I was biking 15 miles a day a couple times a week and could stand from a sitting position with my arms extended into the air in front of me.

Anybody else have a similar experience? How did it turn out?[/quote]
