What to do if pregnant women have back pain on the right side

Pregnant mothers have a very hard time during the pregnancy process. They often feel various discomforts in their bodies, especially in the waist, which often feels sore. So, what should pregnant women do if they have pain on the right side of their waist? Is there any good way to relieve the pain? Here are a few useful methods. I hope all expectant mothers and fathers can take note of them.

The reason why pregnant mothers suffer from back pain during this period is mostly because the rapid pain of the fetus causes the uterus to gradually enlarge and the abdomen to move forward. In order to maintain body balance, the upper body compensatory leans 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 is easy to cause back pain. Generally speaking, the symptoms can be relieved after rest.

Severe symptoms may affect the fetus, so you should see a doctor in time to avoid serious consequences.

Home relief tips

Pregnant mothers can learn some relief techniques that can be implemented at home, which can be easily completed at home. While alleviating their own pain, they can also feel good! Tell yourself that back pain is no big deal.

The symptoms can be relieved if you deal with it calmly. Please follow Dr. Song’s advice.

Appropriately "lazy"

No matter how diligent a pregnant mother is, she must learn to be "lazy" at this time, so as not to overwork the baby in her belly!

1. In the early stages of pregnancy, pay attention to adequate rest to relax your body and reduce fatigue.

2. During the middle and late stages of pregnancy, you should avoid doing heavy work. You might accidentally sprain your waist or leg, which would not only cause you discomfort, but also harm the fetus.

3. Things like washing clothes, climbing up to put things, lifting heavy objects, carrying heavy bags, etc. will "harm" the waist. Let your husband do it if you can, and there is no need to be polite to him. You must not work hard out of spite because of family conflicts!

4. The time for each walk or stroll should be calculated carefully and should not be too long. Well, from this point on, let’s quickly learn to be “lazy”.

Action Brain

It is not safe to go out with a "big ball" on your shoulders. If you are accidentally bumped into by someone or there is no seat on the bus, you will often feel physically and mentally exhausted, with back pain, and you will lose the good mood to go out.

Therefore, pregnant mothers should be careful when going out.

Now, I will give pregnant mothers some tricks and tips for going out, you may as well give it a try!

1. Be careful not to walk too much, and don't go shopping in one store after another in the mall, so as not to get tired and feel weak feet, back pain, etc.

2. Do not go out for any tense, exciting or hectic travel activities, as excessive travel can easily cause back pain.

3. Don’t be shy when taking the bus. Take the initiative to ask young people for a seat. People around you will definitely support you.

4. One of my biggest mistakes back then was that I refused to wear maternity clothes because I was worried about making myself look ugly. People just thought I was a fat person and no one gave up their seat for me. Feeling aggrieved, I put on maternity pants the next day, and unexpectedly, I was immediately warmly cared for. You might as well learn from my experience, it has worked every time.

5. It is best to take a taxi when the weather is too cold or too hot.

6. When shopping, take breaks frequently. There are rest areas in shopping malls.

7. Don’t spend too much time shopping in the mall as the air quality there is very poor!

Enjoy a massage

Those with mild symptoms can do home massage exercises. Now is a great opportunity for the expectant father to show his affection. Quickly learn some professional and authentic massage techniques and give your wife a sweet massage regularly every day.

In addition, you can also do local hot compress, using hot towels, gauze and hot water bottles. Hot compress for half an hour every day can also relieve pain.

Vitamin supplements

During pregnancy, due to the rapid development of the fetus, pregnant mothers are very likely to lack various nutrients and minerals, especially calcium, vitamins and iron. Once lacking, it can easily cause low back pain.

When low back pain is accompanied by leg cramps and sciatica, in addition to quickly supplementing calcium and vitamin B1, you should also consult a doctor and seek help in time. For those with mild deficiency, dietary supplements are recommended.

It is normal for pregnant women to have back pain as long as the symptoms are not particularly severe. You should know that a pregnant woman is burdened by two individuals, so it is easy for her to get tired or feel uncomfortable. At this time, it depends on the people around her. She must be supported and encouraged both emotionally and physically. Therefore, when a pregnant woman has pain on the right side of her waist, she must follow the methods described above to relieve the pain.
