Back pain at 9 weeks pregnant

When a pregnant woman is nine weeks pregnant, she is almost two months pregnant. Most people cannot tell that a woman is nine weeks pregnant because her belly is not yet noticeable. Moreover, for pregnant women who are nine weeks pregnant, they tend to pay more attention to their physical condition, because the fetus is unstable at this time and any abnormality may easily lead to miscarriage. But what is going on when a pregnant woman in her ninth week of pregnancy has back pain?

What causes back pain during the ninth week of pregnancy?

1. Normal pregnancy reaction. If you only experience lower back pain in the early stages of pregnancy but no vaginal bleeding, this is caused by the fertilized egg implanting into the endometrium. As the fertilized egg gradually grows after implantation, the uterus is stimulated and sometimes uterine contractions occur. The hormone levels also change at this time, so this is lower back pain caused by the stimulation of the uterus during pregnancy.

2. Physical condition of pregnant women or fatigue. Many pregnant women are prone to fatigue and sleepiness in the early stages of pregnancy. If the pregnant woman’s physical condition is not good enough, it is likely to cause back pain. Some pregnant women insist on continuing to work even though they are pregnant. Overwork, standing or sitting for long periods of time, bending over, and poor standing and sitting postures may all lead to back pain.

Things to note when having back pain during early pregnancy

1. Pay attention to rest. After pregnancy, due to the rapid growth of the fetus, the pregnant woman's body changes dramatically. Many pregnant women will be very sleepy and easily feel tired. If you have back pain, you should pay more attention to rest and avoid overwork.

2. Exercise moderately during pregnancy. In fact, the most suitable exercise for pregnant mothers is walking. When taking a walk, be sure to do it within your capacity. Especially in the late pregnancy, you should be accompanied by someone when taking a walk, and stop and rest for a while when you have sensitive contractions. When walking, try to walk on flat ground.

3. Pay attention to the small details in life. Usually, do not do actions that increase the burden on the waist, such as lifting heavy objects, sneezing loudly, and do not bend over or squat suddenly. It is best not to stay in one posture for a long time during pregnancy. You should change your position frequently to avoid lumbar muscle tension and aggravate lumbar muscle strain.

Why do I have back pain in the ninth week of pregnancy? Nowadays, pregnant women generally have back pain because their stomachs are growing bigger every day. They feel as if their stomachs are pressing down, which makes their backs hurt a lot. However, back pain is unavoidable for pregnant women. If you want to see a healthy baby born as soon as possible, you must take on this responsibility and prepare yourself as a expectant mother. Pregnant mothers can also massage or adjust their posture frequently, but they should not do strenuous exercise as it may cause miscarriage.
