Is it normal to have major back pain when I'm only 12 weeks pregnant?

i understand your pain. with my second pregnancy, i dealt with a ruptured disk above my tail bone, sciatica, and degenerative disk disease, while chasing my 2 year old around the house. nothing helped to ease my pain. 7 weeks after the birth of my second daughter, i had back surgery, and to this day (10 months later) i am still in a great deal of pain every day. tn lk to your doctor so they can try and rule out the problem. if they try and refer you to an orthopaedic, just know that there isn't much they can do for you while you are pregnant. most won't give you an MRI until after you deliver, and they won't do an x-ray, unless it's an emergency. your doc may prescibe a mild muscle relaxer, and some pain meds if tylenol isn't helping. it didn't work for me, and neither did anything they prescribed for me. they offered me vicodin at one point, but i turned it down, bc i had to be able to function, and didn't want a narcotic.
