A member asked:

I am 6 weeks pregnant and have been having intense lower back pain for a week. now my feet are very swollen. what can it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side effects: This may be caused as a side effect of your body now changing and your hips opening up to accomodate a baby. This could affect your lower back and thereby causeing swelling in the feet. If this persists ask your ob_gyn otherwise you will have to rule out some form of pinched nerve in your back.
