I thought I had a kidney infection or stones, it hurt where my right kidney is.
Treatment or advice:
turns out there is no infection or stones. they said the baby maybe putting pressure on the ureter which the urine flows through and backing it up causing this pain.
Muscle ache in lower back, toward the right of my spine, above my waistline.
Treatment or advice:
Massages help!

I get the same pains on my left side in the back if I sit for too long. I take care of it by leaning over to the right for a while or laying down on my left side with my left arm stretched over my head.

omg it started when I turned 20 weeks and its whenever im laying down and sometimes when i attempt to get up it gets so much worse...getting into different positions just wasn't helping and it probably lasted a good 25 to 20 minutes!!!

ive had the same pains, minepains are from standing at a cash register, it really helps to pay attention to your posture, make sure your standing with your back straight because sticking your tummy forward (even though our baby bumps are so adorable) it puts alot of pressure on your back muscles. also the fact that it is on the right side is probibly due to the fact that your right handed? if your using your right side alot of reaching for stuff bending it all puts extra stress. do cat stretches and try to be aware of you back posture as much as possible. also make sure your sleeping with a pillow between you legs to straighten your back and one under your belly because once again the belly puts alot of weight on your back.

I get the same pain have you tried the catback stretch? Thats what I do
At first it felt like a back pain but then it started hurting like it was my insides. It's extremely painful and sometimes it actually makes me cry. No matter what position I get in, it still hurts. I looked it up online and the closest thing I found to my symptom was a possible kidney infection.
Treatment or advice:
I haven't been to the doctor yet but the only thing that works is tylenol es and a heating pad and sometimes neither of those even help.

I have been getting to same pain. The first time it hurt so bad I cried. The last couple days it has come and gone but finally went away once I got myself a heating pad. It seems that it bothers me mostly at night when I am trying to sleep...of course. I did ask my doctor about it and she said it is most likely a muscle spasm and to apply heat.

I had this exact thing from about week 5 to week 9. My doc brushed it off, but it was very painful. Almost 3 months now and it's gone..whatever it was. I was beginning to think I was going to lose a kidney or something.. I hope it goes away for you soon!
I keep getting dull pains that come and go but with it comes a warm hot tingly sensation. I cant explain it any better than that but it makes me feel like there may be something wrong with my kidney, who knows doc doesnt listen to me when I try to talk to him about it. The feeling may be dull but it still hurts and it worries me because kidney failure runs in my family.
Treatment or advice:
Laying on the side where it hurts feels a little better. The pressure helps and sometimes if I dont think about it the pain goes away. Also a heat pad or icy hot works but only for a little while.
anoying like pulled muscle, hurts all literature says dont sleep on your back but i find myself sleeping on my back every morning, even though i never slept on my back before pregnancy!

Every time I sit for more than 10 minutes I get the most horrible burning stabbing sensation in my back ribcage area. It starts out somewhat mid and within 15 minutes it's unbearable. Nothing helps except to stand and walk for a while. Sometimes if I stand for too long it'll hurt too. Work has become a nightmare as I sit all day.
