Is this normal?

Question

A couple of days ago, I was taking a nap and when I woke up I had the worst back pain of my life. I'm 15 weeks pregnant. I had to use the bathroom and I literally had to crawl off my bed because it hurt that bad. Then yesterday, this is tmi.. but I had white discharge and it made me extremely itchy down there like it wouldn't go away. Yes, I take showers every single day and I always wash down there so I don't know why this happened. Is this normal? Could it of been an early sign of a miscarriage???

Answer

Yeah you're at higher risk for yeast infection while pregnant. I'd just address your gyno about everything. He can either prescribe you something for yeast or you can buy at any store. Sometimes the extra pressure and weight from the baby can pinch nerves especially while laying down. Rather be safe than sorry, don't feel bad about bugging your doc. It's good to be concerned! :)

Answer

Not a sign of miscarriage.

Back pains and a sore body in general are common during pregnancy, as your body is going through so many hormonal and physical changes.

The itchy discharge could be nothing, but depending on how the discharge looked, it could be a yeast infection, which can happen during pregnancy also.

See a doctor about the discharge just in case it's a yeast infection. Being pregnant can be uncomfortable enough without a yeast infection.
