Ok so I have this really bad mid to upper back pain again. Here is the run down...

I am 6 weeks preg and I hunch. My grandma and me have the same body type. She had the hunched back and the same weird legs with the knees that come in too close. The same weird feet. She had a calcium deficiency. My mom has one too. Both pretty severe.

When my friend was pregnant with her son she lost calcium in her body causing her teeth to rot really bad.

What I'm wondering is if this calcium deficiency could be what is wrong with my back? Its pain that feels so deep in my back! Not in the bottom at all! Not in my shoulders. Just in my mostly mid but also slightly upper back. Pretty much where I begin to hunch.

Wondering if this hunching problem could be caused by a calcium deficiency and now that I'm pregnant, it could be causing even more of a deficiency???

I'm really scared bc I dont know what kind of tests they can do when you are pregnant if any. And I'm afraid of what if this pain did become so unbearable as it feels it might bc it just gets worse and worse! FAST!! If I barely turn the wrong way, I feel like I could make the most unbearable pain for myself! I am so scared!!!!!! 

What if it was so bad that I couldnt breath?

What if the bones in my back just break and kill me? (probably not)

What if the pain was unbearable as it feels very close to right now, and they couldnt give me anything for it?

Anybody ever had this problem?

What should I do?

Big breath and don't overthink this problem.


Although it might sound like your pregnancy is going to be nothing but a long string of emotional crises, this is not the case for most women. You will have various ups and downs, but for the most part this will be perfectly manageable, especially if you have a supportive and involved partner. Just remember that all the emotions you experience are felt by most pregnant women, they are perfectly normal and you shouldn’t allow yourself to be stressed by them. Pregnancy is a wonderful experience, so don’t allow normal emotional changes to ruin that experience for you!
Please do talk to your Dr. about your feelings and remember to take care of yourself.
Kindly,
Kitt

I dont understand? You think this is more of an emotional problem than anything? Or are there just (honestly now), no real good helpful things for this? Like there really is nothing they can do? Just wondering bc you covered the emotional aspects of pregnancy but not the pain or any actual symptoms I described. Thank you for your perspective and support though bc I need it!!!!!

What Kitt is saying is calm down and relax. You have alot of "what ifs" going on right now and you know thats not good. I dont know much about calcium deficiency but I do know what being pregnant can do to your teeth and bones. Right now I have this terrible hip pain no matter what I do and Im only 13 weeks along. Maybe you should talk to your OB and see whet they suggest. I hope it gets better.

Yea I see that. I'll go to the doctor and ask them about it. I'm waiting on a call for my appointment. They said that it could take up to a week to call me but hopefully not! My back pain has eased off a bit right now. It does this though. It comes on hard, sudden, PAINFUL, and strong! Then it just goes away slowly. Very slowly. Always comes back though and it scares me bc each time its worse!

I am trying to relax with this. I know thats important.

Can you take anything for the pain? I know that tylenol is safe during pregnancy are you able to take that? Maybe it will help until your next appt.

I hope you get that doctors appointment soon, and may be try some of the medication suggested above by Nellebutter. I am TTC and now think that I should up my calcium levels in case of any problems.

Hopefully when you see the Dr., he/she will prescribe Prenatal Vitamins. Do talk to the Dr. re all your your pains and all of the questions you have re your pregnancy. Make a list to take with you so you remember everything.

Take care,

Since your mom and grandmother both have this hunching problem can you ask them if they experienced this pain during pregnancies also? Maybe it is herritory?? What they did to relieve their pain or experienced might help you too. Pregnancies bring on all kinds of aches and pains that will change your body. I don't know if my body has ever recovered...lol. Asking your mother might be the best confort you can find along with taking calcium supliments.

My grandmother has past. My mom said she didnt have this problem. Herse isnt as bad though. My mom is short and stout. My grandma like me, was tall and thin.
I just cant wait to get into the dr's office!! I hope they call me real soon!!
Thanks for the advice and support everyone!!
