How to relieve back pain during pregnancy

There are many symptoms in early pregnancy, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time, the reaction may be more intense, such as increased fatigue, drowsiness, and back pain. So how can you relieve the back pain you feel during the second month of pregnancy, which is the early stage of pregnancy? Below, the editor introduces several methods that can effectively relieve the feeling of back pain in early pregnancy.

Sleeping position: If the pregnant mother sleeps in a supine position during pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will press on the aorta at the back, affecting the blood supply to the uterus and causing varying degrees of displacement or compression on various organs, aggravating the symptoms of low back pain. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers lie down, bend their legs first, support their pelvis, and then gently twist their pelvis until their waist is adjusted to a position that they think is more comfortable, and then take a left-side lying position. This can not only reduce the pressure on the internal organs of the uterus, ensure the blood flow to the uterus and placenta, reduce varicose veins in the lower limbs, relieve pressure on the waist, and allow the waist to be relaxed to the greatest extent, but also correct the degree of right rotation of the uterus and improve the problem of malposition of the fetus in the middle and late pregnancy. At the same time, when lying on your left side, bend your legs one after the other. Finally, there are certain requirements for the choice of bed. It is not advisable to use a bed that is too soft. It is necessary to ensure that the human skeleton is naturally and fully supported when lying down.

Getting up: When getting up, do not sit up immediately from a lying position. Instead, turn sideways first and use the strength of your hands to help you get up.

Standing posture: Most pregnant mothers like to arch their backs and push their abdomen forward when standing to maintain their body balance, but this posture will increase the burden on the waist. Therefore, when standing, pregnant mothers should lift their heads straight, keep their backs straight, stretch their back muscles, and separate their feet slightly and point them in the same direction to distribute gravity to the thighs and abdomen, reducing the burden on the waist and back.

Sitting posture: When sitting down, do not use too much force. First, sit on the edge of the chair, then gently twist your waist, gradually adjust the center of gravity of your body from the spine to the buttocks, then lean your entire back straight against the back of the chair, and place your entire buttocks in the center of the seat, not just half of your buttocks on the edge. After sitting down, keep your shoulders straight, your hips and knees at right angles, and your thighs horizontal. In addition, the heights of the table and chairs should match. Try to find chairs with backrests, and do not choose stools or overly soft sofas.

The editor analyzes from the perspectives of sleeping posture, standing posture, sitting posture and getting up, and introduces how to relieve the feeling of back pain in the early stages of pregnancy. In addition, try to avoid doing physical work such as lifting heavy objects, carrying heavy bags, or getting things from high places, as well as heavy housework at home. These can relieve the feeling of back pain.
