For the sake of the baby's health, they have to bear the pressure of not taking medicine. So in those ten months, they have experienced what it means to not know the kindness of parents until they have raised their children. So what does it mean when pregnant women have coccyx pain? Don’t worry, I’ll give you some tips.

Most cases of sciatica after pregnancy are caused by lumbar disc herniation, which is clearly related to the special physiology during pregnancy. First, the endocrine hormones of pregnant women undergo physiological changes, which relax the joints and ligaments in preparation for childbirth, and invisibly weaken the stability of the waist. Second, the fetus gradually develops and grows in the uterus, which increases the burden on the lumbar spine, and this burden continues until delivery. On this basis, if there is strain and sprain between the lumbar vertebrae, lumbar disc herniation is very likely to occur, thereby compressing the sciatic nerve, causing edema, congestion, and sciatic nerve irritation - sciatica. Generally speaking, most expectant mothers can recover from sciatica after giving birth. What should I do if I have sciatica?

1. Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Because of the baby, there is no good treatment for sciatica during pregnancy. Pregnant women should avoid fatigue, wear flat shoes, and pay attention to rest. You can lie flat and raise your feet so that the position of your feet is close to that of your heart, which will increase venous return and make you more comfortable.

2. If the condition is serious, local analgesia can be performed. If the condition is very serious, you need to go to the hospital for local sealing and local analgesia. For example, if the pain is severe due to separation of the pubic symphysis, it is best to ask a doctor to use local sealing methods for treatment. Quick remedy: Sleep on your left side with a pillow between your knees to increase blood flow to your uterus. Do not stand or sit in the same posture for more than half an hour during the day. Swimming can help pregnant mothers relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.

The above methods should be able to relieve your discomfort, so try them. For the healthy growth of the baby, try to use as little medication as possible if possible, because any medicine will cause certain harm to the baby. If you can persist, you should endure it and everything will be fine after the baby is born. If you really feel uncomfortable, you can go to the hospital to see what the doctor says. I wish you good health!
