Why do I have back pain in the first three months of pregnancy?

Many women report that they experience various discomforts in the early stages of pregnancy, especially in the first three months. I believe that most of them will suffer from back pain during pregnancy. Do we know the causes of this phenomenon? What should mothers pay attention to during early pregnancy?

In fact, back pain during pregnancy is caused by the fact that the fertilized egg of the fetus gradually grows after implantation, which stimulates the mother's uterus and sometimes causes false contractions. Therefore, this is back pain caused by the stimulation of the uterus by pregnancy. Mild abdominal distension and pain may be related to pregnancy reaction. If there are no other serious conditions, mothers do not need to worry too much and just need to pay more attention to rest.

The back pain that expectant mothers experience in the early stages of pregnancy will not be very severe. The pain will be relatively mild, mostly waist and back pain. At this time, the expectant mother's back pain is often caused by the retroverted uterus, which compresses the rectum and ligaments. The expectant mother does not need to be nervous.

In fact, back pain does not only occur in the early stages of pregnancy, but will occur throughout the entire pregnancy, so expectant mothers should take good precautions in daily life. Preventing and relieving back pain is something that pregnant mothers and expectant fathers face throughout the pregnancy.

1. Take 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 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. Massage your waist

If a pregnant mother has back pain, she should not apply medicated wine, acupuncture, or apply plasters, as these are harmful to the fetus. The simplest way is to ask the expectant father to massage the waist. The expectant father should remember to be gentle and not use too much force. After rubbing his hands together to make them warm, overlap and place them in the middle of the lumbar spine to create a local heating sensation, which can relieve discomfort in the waist.

In addition, during pregnancy, you should avoid doing actions that increase the burden on your waist, avoid staying in one posture for a long time, and change your body position frequently to avoid aggravating lumbar muscle strain. Pregnant women should avoid humid environments, should not get cold, and should avoid being too hot or sweating profusely.
