Back pain in pregnancy for more than three months

Female friends may experience lower back pain during the three months of pregnancy. This is mainly related to the increase in the placenta and amniotic fluid, which will gradually increase the load on the lumbar spine. At the same time, hormonal changes in pregnant women will also cause the pelvic ligaments to relax, which is also the reason why pregnant women feel lower back pain. Therefore, pregnant women should not do strenuous work with excessive weight and should focus on rest.

Why do I feel backache when I am more than three months pregnant?

1. Increased placenta, amniotic fluid, and excessive weight on the lumbar spine are the main causes of back pain in pregnant women;

2. Hormonal changes during pregnancy lead to pelvic ligament relaxation, which is another important cause of low back pain in pregnant women;

3. Lack of exercise will cause a person's basic physical strength to decline, thus causing back pain in pregnant women;

4. The impact on the uterus and fetus can also cause back pain in pregnant women. It is common for pregnant women to experience back pain, but if your condition is serious, it is best to consult a doctor.

Things to note when having back pain during the third month of pregnancy

1. Pregnant women should not stand up or sit down too quickly, and it is best to have something to hold on to.

2. Pregnant women should not sleep on a bed that is too soft, as it can easily cause the waist to sink, causing or aggravating back pain.

3. Pregnant women should choose more comfortable shoes, avoid wearing high heels, and keep the heels at around 3 to 4 cm.

4. Tie a belt or a special pregnancy belt around the pregnant woman's abdomen to support her waist and relieve pain.

5. Maintain the correct posture. The correct standing posture is to keep your legs slightly apart, your back straight, your chest up, and your chin tucked in.

Symptoms in the first three months of pregnancy generally include vomiting and nausea, but they vary from person to person. After a woman becomes pregnant, the placenta secretes human chorionic gonadotropin, which inhibits the secretion of gastric acid. The decrease in gastric acid secretion greatly reduces the activity of digestive enzymes, thereby affecting the appetite and digestive function of pregnant women. At this time, pregnant women will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Pregnant women generally experience morning sickness. During the 40th to 80th day of pregnancy, they experience mild nausea and vomiting on an empty stomach in the morning, which disappears naturally afterwards. It may also last for a period of time and the patient may lose appetite.
