What should pregnant women do if they suddenly have severe back pain?

1. Mild low back pain

(1) Use a special pregnancy belt. Put a bandage or special pregnancy belt around your abdomen to support your waist and relieve pain.

(2) Maintain a proper standing posture. The correct standing posture is to keep your legs slightly apart, your back straight, your head and chest high, and your chin tucked in. If you have the right posture, your big belly won't be noticeable. Don't stand up or sit down too quickly, and it's best to have something to hold on to.

(3) Do moderate fitness exercises. During pregnancy, you should also carry out moderate exercise, choose appropriate gymnastics or swimming for pregnant women, exercise according to your personal situation, and improve your energy.

(4) Choose a suitable bed, boots, etc. Don't sleep on a bed that is too soft, as it can easily cause your waist to sag, causing or aggravating low back pain. Also choose more comfortable boots instead of high heels.
