Back Pain

Pain in the lower back (low back pain) can literally be a "real pain". This pain is caused by several factors. The first is that your weight is changing. You gain weight because you are pregnant, your uterus gets bigger, and your baby grows from week to week. Next, your posture is thrown out of balance. It is a weight mainly in the front of the torso, which pulls your back. Lack of sleep is another factor for a painful back.

Get a pillow for pregnant women that can help when lying down to reduce the load on your back. 

Finally, your hormones and changes in the body also have the effect of this pain. Your body prepares for birth and so some of your joints and ligaments, it loosens to the final act, birth, is possible. All of these changes can cause pain in the lower back. It is estimated that about half of all women during pregnancy experience this first signs of pregnancy.

Fever

Measure your temperature - if it is slightly higher than usual - it is possible that you are pregnant. If you are trying to become pregnant, your doctor may suggest that you keep a record of your body temperature every day.
