What to do if you have back pain in early pregnancy

Pregnancy will bring about various reactions, which we call pregnancy reactions. These reactions are generally physiological. They will occur more frequently and more severely in the early stages of pregnancy, but as time goes by, this condition will gradually decrease. Let us now learn about some coping methods. First, let us understand what to do if you have back pain in early pregnancy?

The pain most complained by pregnant women is back pain. Although the degree varies, almost everyone feels the pain. As pregnancy progresses, the uterus grows larger and the body's center of gravity gradually moves forward, forcing the pregnant woman's shoulders to move back accordingly to maintain body balance. The neck is slightly bent to compensate and keep the head upright. As a result, the normal curvature of the spine increases, leading to lordosis. Therefore, the closer to full term, the more likely pregnant women are to experience neck, back and waist pain. Guidance: Most people are prone to back pain starting from the second trimester, and a few people feel it from the early stage. However, back pain is not obvious in the early stages of pregnancy.

The cause of back pain in early pregnancy is generally believed to be hormone secretion. The uterus is still in the pelvic cavity in the early stage, which is prone to blood stasis and causes back pain. However, if the pain is severe and affects other parts of the back, there may be other reasons. In severe cases, you need to see a doctor. The causes of back pain in ordinary people are mainly bending over to carry heavy objects, walking long distances in high heels, working with incorrect postures, etc.

For pregnant women, these are also possible, but in fact, they already have many conditions for low back pain, so pregnant women may have low back pain anytime and anywhere. The abdomen is heavy, it is impossible to maintain a correct posture, and the waist muscles are easily fatigued. So it is natural to cause low back pain. Because of the changes in hormone secretion in the human body in the early pregnancy. After pregnancy, in order for the baby to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, the human body secretes a hormone that can relax the ligaments connecting the pelvis. This hormone also relaxes the muscles and increases the curvature of the spine, so it is easy to have low back pain.

Lack of exercise causes a person's basic physical strength to decline. When physical strength declines, a person cannot maintain a normal posture, which makes it easy to have back pain. In addition, the influence of the uterus and fetus can also cause back pain. Pregnant women also have back pain caused by diseases, such as herniated disc, spinal deformity, uterine tumor, urinary tract stones, sciatica, etc. These diseases are sometimes not limited to back pain, but also affect other parts of the body. If you have any questions, you need to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.

The above is the treatment method for low back pain in early pregnancy. Some people think that they can’t do any exercise when they are pregnant, but they still have low back pain. Low back pain is caused by the decline of our body functions, so proper exercise is also very helpful for the recovery of the body.
