Back aches

Im at week 5 now. Is it normal to have back aches everyday? Any remedies? I tried the pillow but doesn't help much.

Hey mama, Sometimes the aches could also be due to bad posture. The relaxins that are produced during pregnancy tend to loosen joints a little, and without good posture, this can lead to aches. Perhaps try to look in the mirror (side-view) and see that when you walk, you aren’t arching your back. Imagine that a thread is pulling you by the top of your head all through your spine and hips and legs. Have your shoulders back as well :) Here are some great tips regarding posture and pregnancy: https://www.kindredbravely.com/blogs/bravely/back-pain-pregnancy-chiropractor

Can try stretching or going for pre natal massage!
