What causes back pain in pregnant women?

Low back pain in mid-pregnancy is generally a normal condition, and many pregnant women experience low back pain in mid-pregnancy. In the second trimester, the fetus and amniotic fluid increase, and excessive weight on the intervertebral disc often causes back pain in pregnant women. During pregnancy, due to changes in the testosterone growth hormone, the mother's osteoarthritis will become loose; as the fetus continues to grow, the fetal position gradually moves forward, increasing the burden on the intervertebral disc and coccyx; when the mother's body's evacuated water flows to the pelvic veins, the lumbar nerves and spine cannot get enough oxygen. These factors all cause low back pain during pregnancy.

To solve the problem of lower back pain during mid-pregnancy, Ms. Xu from the my country Liaison Office of Huaxin Bumrungrad-Bumrungrad International Hospital in the Philippines recommends that pregnant mothers learn to adjust their center of gravity appropriately to the back, and wear elastic stockings and low-heeled boots during daytime activities. When you lie flat at night, you can place a pillow between your knees, or use a special pillow to support your abdomen. Pregnant mothers can appropriately perform reversible hot compresses, massage, and do some exercises to strengthen the waist muscles to relieve low back pain. The most important thing is to avoid standing for long periods of time to reduce long-term pressure on the lower body.

If expectant mothers have back pain, frequent urination, painful urination, and tapping pain on the ribs behind the body, these symptoms may be kidney inflammation. It is recommended to see a doctor immediately for examination and diagnosis to avoid serious infection.

What causes back pain during mid-pregnancy?

Mid-pregnancy back pain makes pregnant mothers very uncomfortable during pregnancy, and the feeling of lingering pain is really uncomfortable. Can this mid-pregnancy back pain be prevented? In order to prevent the condition of low back pain in mid-pregnancy, pregnant mothers should first understand the causes of low back pain in mid-pregnancy.

1. The abdomen is thick and it is difficult to maintain a proper posture. The waist muscles are easily tired, resulting in waist pain. As the fetus continues to grow and develop, the pressure on the pregnant mother's waist and legs increases. People walk on two legs, and with the pressure of the fetus being pressed, it is generally inevitable to cause back pain.

2. The metabolism of growth hormone in pregnant women changes. During pregnancy, in order for the baby to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, the body secretes a hormone that can loosen the cruciate ligaments connecting the pelvis. This hormone also has the function of relaxing muscles and increasing the inclination of the spine, which can easily cause low back pain.

3. Insufficient fitness exercise leads to a reduction in people’s basic energy. When your energy decreases, you cannot maintain a normal posture and it is easy to get back pain.

4. The impact on the uterus and fetus can also cause back pain. Back pain during pregnancy usually occurs in the middle and late stages, especially after twenty-five or twenty-six weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the uterus gradually enlarges and the abdomen protrudes forward. When standing up, the center of gravity shifts. In order to maintain the body's dynamic balance, the pregnant mother's head tilts backward, and the center of gravity shifts backward and falls on the buttocks. The weight of the pregnant mother's upper body is borne by the intervertebral disc and waist muscles.
