Why and what to do if you have back pain during the tenth week of pregnancy

After ten months of pregnancy, every mother wants to give birth to a healthy baby smoothly. However, things don’t always go as planned. Sometimes there are always one or two things that bother mothers. The waist is a very important part of the body. Many mothers have weak waists and experience waist pain during the tenth week of pregnancy. What is the reason for this and what should we do? How can we protect ourselves and our baby at this critical moment?

It is related to excessive load on the back extensor muscles and significant hormone changes. During pregnancy, the rapid development of the fetus causes the uterus to gradually enlarge and the abdomen to move forward. In order to maintain body balance, the upper body will compensate by leaning back, causing excessive lordosis of the spine and continuous tension in the back extensor muscles, resulting in excessive fatigue of the waist and back, which can easily lead to back pain. Generally speaking, the symptoms can be relieved after rest. When a pregnant woman lies in a supine position, the enlarged uterus presses on the waist and sacrum, which can easily cause lower back pain.

At the same time, appropriate calcium supplementation is needed after 12 weeks of pregnancy to ensure the nutritional needs of the fetus and pregnant women. In order to prevent and relieve low back pain in pregnant women during pregnancy, calcium supplementation is needed during pregnancy, and drink more milk and soy milk; if the calcium content in the daily diet is insufficient, calcium supplements can also be considered, which can also reduce the occurrence of low back pain. At the same time, pay attention to protecting your waist. When sitting, keep your waist as straight as possible and put a soft cushion behind you. It is best to sleep on your left side with your legs bent to reduce the burden on your waist. This position is also helpful in correcting the right rotation of the uterus that is prone to occur in late pregnancy, improving the blood supply to the uterus and placenta, and promoting fetal development. Get more rest, do housework in moderation, and avoid lifting heavy objects, bending over frequently, or standing or squatting for long periods of time.

The tenth month of pregnancy is crucial. Therefore, female friends should supplement more nutrients such as calcium during pregnancy. If you suddenly experience lower back pain in October, it is best to consult a doctor at a relevant hospital. Never choose medication without authorization when you have back pain after ten weeks of pregnancy, so as not to endanger the health of the fetus or the pregnant woman herself. I wish all pregnant women in the world good health.
