I'm 5 weeks today and experiencing some pain in the lower back on the left side. It isn't lower back pain per se but it feels more like a side stitch you get when running but instead of in the front it's in the back. Has anyone experienced this? Is this something I should be concerned about and call my doc?

I'd check with your doctor. It sounds like you could have a kidney stone or maybe a UTI. Any difficulty or pain when you urinate? Does your urine look darker than normal?
-
I started getting back pain RIGHT away in my pregnancy. It can happen for a lot of people, the hormone relaxin causes your ligaments to start loosening and stretching. As long as you don't have cramping or spotting in addition to the back pain I wouldn't worry about it.
-
No other symptoms. Just the side stitch feeling. No pain when urinating and it is normal in color. I may just call the doc for peace of mind though.

i am not pregnant but, whenever i get pain like that it is usually cause i havent consumed enough water....sorry...

I just want to say that I'm about 5 weeks also, and I've been having this for the last couple of days. Just to commiserate!
-
@ladyfingers: that is good to know! How are you doing otherwise?
-
Good! I've been falling asleep around 9 each night and feel sort of run down, but not too bad yet
Is it sick that I'm looking forward to symptoms because it means things are progressing?
-
@ladyfingers: I feel the same way. I look forward to the symptoms as well because as of right now it's the only assurance I can get :).

@WALLAROO: I know, it's totally killer. I'm going for our first ultrasound next Wednesday, it seems sorta early compared to when others go, but that's when they wanted me! I just want to see a little blob and flicker right where it's supposed to be.
-
@ladyfingers: Oh that is exciting that you get your first ultrasound next Wednesday!
-
@ladyfingers: I'm excited about your first ultrasound! keep us posted.
-
@Mrs. Lantern: Thanks, I'm pretty excited too! Nervous, scared, excited
I will let you know for sure!

I had it and still have it on/off... I think it's all just normal aches and pains~

I had it throughout my pregnancy. It only got worse as the little one got bigger. I don't know whether it was the uterus pressing on a nerve or what, but it was there the entire time and left nearly immediately after delivery!
Is it sick that I'm looking forward to symptoms because it means things are progressing?
