Causes of sudden back pain in pregnant women

In fact, pregnant women nowadays don’t pay much attention to their own bodies. In fact, pregnant women need to go to the hospital regularly for detailed examinations, so that they can know the condition of their fetus at the first time. So let us understand the reasons why pregnant women suddenly have back pain.

main reason:

Multiparous women are less active after delivery. If you always lie or sit in bed to rest during the confinement period, coupled with weight gain and more abdominal fat, the load on the waist muscles will increase, which can easily cause lumbar muscle strain and low back pain. Not paying attention to rest after giving birth will make the body too tired. Standing, squatting, sitting for a long time or wearing a tight waistband can all lead to lumbar muscle strain and induce low back pain. Frequently feeding the baby in an improper or unrelaxed position. This will cause the waist muscles to always be in an unrelaxed state, causing damage to the waist muscles. Accidentally attacked by dampness and cold after childbirth. This causes the meridians to be blocked, resulting in poor blood circulation and causing low back pain.

First, pregnancy and childbirth cause great changes in the endocrine system. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the fetus during childbirth, the ligaments connecting the pelvis also become loose. In addition, the growing uterus gradually increases the support for the pregnant mother's waist, causing the sacrospinous ligament to relax, compressing the pelvic nerves and blood vessels and causing low back pain. The uterus fails to fully return to its original position soon after delivery, causing low back pain.

Second, postpartum mothers often have to bend over to take care of the baby, such as bathing, dressing, changing diapers, and often picking up the baby from the cradle, etc., or poor discharge of lochia causing pelvic blood congestion, which can easily induce low back pain.

After giving birth, avoid bending over frequently or standing or squatting for long periods of time, and prepare a table specifically for changing diapers or washing your baby's butt. Frequently used diapers, disposable diapers, baby powder, diaper oil and other common items should be within reach of the mother without bending over. If the table can be connected to the crib or cradle, it would be even better if there is a matching chair next to it. When cleaning the floor of the room, use long-handled tools and do not clean for too long each time, especially within 3 months after delivery. Adopt the correct posture when breastfeeding. It is better to sit on a low stool. If you sit in a higher position, you can put one foot on a footrest or lean your body on the chair. It's best to place a pillow on your lap to elevate your baby so that he can also bear the weight. Pay attention to protecting your waist in daily life, get enough sleep after delivery, change your bed position frequently, avoid lifting heavy or high objects, do not run or walk long distances too early; move your waist frequently to stretch your waist muscles. If you feel discomfort in your waist, you can massage, apply hot compress to the painful area or take a hot bath to promote blood circulation and improve the discomfort in your waist; pay attention to keeping your waist warm at ordinary times.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the reasons why pregnant women suddenly experience back pain. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if you experience such a phenomenon, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
