Since you are only a month pregnant, I wouldn't think that the neck and back pain was from pregnancy. A cause for neck and back pain is because of the increase in hormones which causes a shift in joints and can loosen ligaments which could cause posture to change and a less support for your back. Another reason is once you become bigger and actually have a pretty big belly, your center of gravity will change and this causes a different posture that your body isn't used to., which over time will cause pain. Also when the baby becomes bigger and you start to gain more weight, your back has to support more weight in a different area than it's used to. Ever carry a heavy back pack around all day and your back begins to hurt? It's like that, only in your belly. You can start to help symptoms of this by using pillows between your legs to even out your back while you are sleeping. There are also certain pregnancy pillows that are made specifically for pregnant women. I started feeling back pain around 20 weeks. I'm also very small built and very short, and carrying a baby and baby weight for me was a struggle. You'll start feeling pain once you put on more baby weight and your belly gets bigger, but it can all depend on your build. Good luck to you! It could just be stress for you or you could have pulled a muscle.

Hey, perfectly healthy people suddenly start getting health issues they've never had before once they become parents, no kidding! New moms and dads come down with sinus issues, allergies, pink eye..you name it. Am I right, readers?! This is just the start. Advice : Take care of yourself. You deserve it :) The neck pain could be related to sinus issues, too.
