Why is my waist sore when I am pregnant?

Some people will feel back pain at the beginning of pregnancy. Many doctors have also said that this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. Just pay attention to good hygiene and regular maintenance in daily life, and don't cause too much stress, and there will be no problems. So, why do you feel backache soon after pregnancy?

Why do I feel backache soon after getting pregnant?

Most of the back pain caused by pregnancy comes from changes in posture. As pregnancy progresses, the uterus expands and the body's center of gravity slowly shifts backward, forcing the pregnant woman's shoulders to move relatively backward to maintain body balance. The neck is slightly bent to fill in and keep the head upright. As a result, the normal curvature of the spine is increased, causing lordosis, which leads to the extension of some muscles and the occurrence of low back pain in early pregnancy. Therefore, the closer to full term, pregnant women are more likely to experience neck, back and waist pain. The pain most complained by pregnant women is low back pain. Although the degree varies, almost everyone has experienced pain.

The reason for lower back pain in early pregnancy is that the embryo grows slowly after implantation, and the uterus is stimulated, which sometimes causes uterine contraction, and there are also certain changes in female hormones at this time, so it is the lower back pain caused by the stimulation of pregnancy in the uterus. If you have mild lower abdominal pain, it may generally be related to pregnancy reaction.

Physiological causes of low back pain in early pregnancy: Low back pain in early pregnancy is likely caused by ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, the early pregnancy symptom of low back pain, especially within 12 weeks of pregnancy, should not be ignored. In addition to abdominal pain, you should pay attention to observe whether there is any non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina: it is usually spotty, dark red, small in amount, and does not exceed the menstrual volume. Vaginal bleeding is caused by detachment of the uterine wall or bleeding from both fallopian tubes that is discharged through the uterine cavity. Abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding is often a sign of test tube embryo damage.

The difference between backache before menstruation and backache during pregnancy

Premenstrual symptoms and pre-pregnancy symptoms are similar, but not the same.

1. Premenstrual symptoms: (1) Sensitivity and suspicion. Every time before menstruation, I become more and more sensitive and suspicious, prone to crying, depression, and changes in my mood that I don’t even understand why. (2) Abdominal pain. You will feel intermittent abdominal pain a week before your period, and the pain will become more severe 2-3 days before your menstrual period. (3) A very small number of women may experience back pain, lower abdominal pain, etc., accompanied by mild diarrhea or constipation. It is caused by pelvic congestion during menstruation. Due to the imbalance of the cerebral cortex during the menstrual period and the influence of female hormone fluctuations, some women will continue to experience varying degrees of systemic reactions. Such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, constant sleepiness, irritability, restlessness, emotional excitement and breast pain. But generally it is relatively mild and will not affect study and work. If you experience severe abdominal pain before or during menstruation, or even nausea, vomiting, or fainting, you should consider dysmenorrhea and see a doctor immediately.
