Back pain at 13 weeks pregnant

Pregnancy should be a very happy thing, but some women are afraid of pregnancy because the physical pain they suffer during pregnancy is very obvious. In particular, the phenomenon of low back pain has occurred in many pregnant women, and their low back pain is often long-term and persistent. Some women experience back pain when they are 13 weeks pregnant. What is going on?

What is the reason for back pain at 13 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Lower back pain is one of the reactions of early pregnancy. It is caused by hormonal changes in the pregnant woman's body after pregnancy, which increases the pressure on the pregnant woman's abdomen and back. It is a normal phenomenon in early pregnancy and pregnant women do not need to worry.

2. Pregnant women in the 13th week of pregnancy may suffer from back pain if they overwork, frequently bend over, lift heavy objects, stand for too long, walk a lot, or have an incorrect sleeping posture. Generally, no special treatment is required. Just get more rest and change your lifestyle habits.

3. If a pregnant woman experiences back pain, the most dangerous possibility is ectopic pregnancy. If a pregnant woman has back pain and vaginal bleeding at the same time, she must go to the hospital for treatment in time, because it is very likely an ectopic pregnancy.

What are the ways to relieve back pain?

1. Correct your posture. Incorrect sitting, standing and sleeping postures can cause back pain in pregnant women, so pregnant women should correct their postures and learn the correct sitting, standing and sleeping postures.

2. Wear shoes that fit your feet. Pregnant women should not wear high heels, even wide-soled high heels with a wider support surface.

3. Appropriate exercise. Pregnant women can do exercises such as swimming, walking, and gymnastics to relieve symptoms of back pain.

4. Massage. Massage can loosen muscles, improve circulation, stretch the waist and back, and relieve back pain.

Women who experience back pain during pregnancy should pay special attention. I hope everyone can choose the correct method to improve this problem. In addition, when pregnant women cannot accurately grasp some discomfort symptoms in their bodies, they should go to the hospital for a professional examination or consult relevant professional doctors, and generally they can find some ways to relieve the symptoms.
