What causes lower back pain and stomach pain in early pregnancy?

1. Exercise during pregnancy

As the fetus of pregnant women grows day by day and their weight increases day by day, the most suitable exercise for pregnant women is walking. When walking, do it within your ability. When taking a walk, try to walk on flat ground to avoid falling due to uneven roads. It is not recommended to climb mountains or stairs, because this kind of weight-bearing exercise may be very strenuous for pregnant women and increase the burden on the waist.

2. Massage your waist

Pregnant women may feel discomfort in the waist and back due to changes in body position, but they cannot undergo physical therapy or acupuncture for the waist, nor can they apply plasters, etc. A simple method is to rub your hands together until they are warm, then overlap and place them in the middle of the lumbar spine, pushing and rubbing from top to bottom for 30-50 times until a local heating sensation is generated, which can relieve discomfort in the waist.

Another method is to make fists with both hands, place them on the waist and roll and massage them around, from bottom to top and from top to bottom, repeatedly. The head can be tilted forward and backward to relax the muscles in the waist and back and relieve the soreness caused by spasms in the waist and back muscles. If you feel tired when doing these methods by yourself, you can ask your husband for help. However, your husband should not use too much force, and comfort is the key.

3. Control your weight

An obese body adds a heavy burden to the waist, so during pregnancy, you should pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat less sweets, do not drink various beverages, do not eat various desserts, including popsicles, ice cream, coffee, chocolate, etc., eat small meals frequently to control your weight during pregnancy within a reasonable range, which is beneficial to the health of your waist.

Through the introduction of the article, I believe many people have a certain understanding of why back pain and stomach pain occur in early pregnancy. If these situations occur, there is no need to be too nervous. The most important thing is to go to the hospital for examination in time. These problems can also be avoided in daily life.
