Is it normal to have back pain during 5 months of pregnancy?

The fifth month of pregnancy is the mid-term stage of pregnancy. At this time, the fetus is relatively stable, so there are not so many things that pregnant women need to pay attention to. However, when pregnant for five months, pregnant women are prone to some uneasy physical conditions. In the eyes of many pregnant women, physical abnormalities are closely related to the health of the baby. Is it normal for some pregnant women to experience back pain in their fifth month of pregnancy?

Why do I have severe back pain during my fifth month of pregnancy?

1. The abdomen is heavy and the correct posture cannot be maintained, and the waist muscles are easily fatigued, causing low back pain. As the fetus continues to grow, the pressure on the pregnant woman's waist and legs increases. People walk on two legs, and with the pressure of the fetus, it is inevitable to cause back pain under normal circumstances.

2. Due to pregnancy, the hormone secretion in the human body changes. In order for the baby to pass through the birth canal smoothly during delivery, the human body secretes a hormone that relaxes the ligaments connecting the pelvis. This hormone also relaxes the muscles, increasing the curvature of the spine, so it is easy to cause back pain.

What are the symptoms of discomfort during pregnancy

1. Frequent urination. "Urinating" is a very normal physiological symptom for most people. The so-called "frequent urination" means urinating more than 7 times during the day and more than 2 times at night, and the interval between urination is less than 2 hours. Pregnant women are prone to frequent urination during pregnancy, especially in the early and late stages of pregnancy.

2. Back pain. During pregnancy, due to weight gain and hormonal changes, the whole body will experience some degree of edema and ligament relaxation. In the early stages of pregnancy, these phenomena do not have much impact on the body, so expectant mothers do not feel back pain or inconvenience in movement. However, in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the belly gradually grows and the weight increases, expectant mothers will begin to have difficulty in movement, and may even often experience back pain, calf cramps, lower limb edema, etc.

3. Changes in appetite. For expectant mothers, appetite changes are a very interesting thing. Some expectant mothers cannot eat any spicy food before pregnancy, but after pregnancy they like spicy food instead. Some people can eat any sour food. Such changes are actually caused by hormonal changes.

4. Abdominal discomfort. Some expectant mothers often feel anxious and worried due to abdominal pain, bloating, abdominal tightness and other discomforts. In fact, abdominal discomfort during pregnancy is a very normal physiological phenomenon and pregnant women do not need to worry too much.

Pregnancy is a test for many expectant mothers. For the sake of the baby in the belly, expectant mothers should give up ordinary cosmetics and replace them with cosmetics specially for pregnant women. In order to ensure the better development of the baby, you should avoid eating raw, cold and spicy foods. At the same time, with a big belly, you should exercise more to prepare for a normal birth. The above is an introduction to why you suffer from severe back pain during the fifth month of pregnancy. I hope it can help you.
