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

Lower back pain is common among pregnant women who are five and a half months pregnant. The main causes of this type of symptom include: 1. Many pregnant women suffer from back pain when walking for a long time, standing for too long, or sitting for too long. This kind of situation is because maintaining a posture for a long time, the waist muscles are strained, resulting in low back pain. You can massage and heat the affected area appropriately and exercise the body appropriately to relieve symptoms. 2. Calcium deficiency in pregnant women during pregnancy is also a major cause of low back pain symptoms, and is directly related to osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency. Pregnant women can eat more shrimp skin, milk, beans and other foods in their daily diet to supplement high-quality protein and alleviate the symptoms of low back pain caused by calcium deficiency.

The faster the abdomen expands during pregnancy, the more obvious the symptoms of low back pain. Pregnant women should control their diet in moderation to avoid excessive weight gain.

In the fifth month of pregnancy, the fetus gradually expands, and the pregnant woman's body secretes a kind of relaxin, which makes the joints of the whole body become very loose and cause pain; secondly, in the middle and late pregnancy, the gradual expansion of the embryo and the gradual increase in amniotic fluid flow, as well as the gradual increase in the baby's weight, will cause the pelvis to tilt forward, forming a unique waist posture, and the back muscles continue to contract and cannot relax and rest, which aggravates the load on the lumbar disc and causes low back pain due to fatigue in the long run. This kind of situation is generally not a big problem. You can rest more and apply local heat when necessary. It may also be a calcium deficiency, and you can take iron supplements as prescribed by your doctor.

Low back pain in early pregnancy. Considering that the uterus enlarges after pregnancy, pain is referred to the uterine ligaments. In addition, it is not ruled out that there has been lumbar disc herniation or lumbar muscle strain in the past, which will aggravate the symptoms of back pain and low back pain after pregnancy. There is also threatened abortion caused by insufficient corpus luteum, which may also cause lower back pain. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check whether the gestational sac, yolk sac, embryonic bud, fetal heart rate, and fetal heartbeat are good. Then carry out pregnancy treatment. In the early stages of pregnancy, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited, cold and sexually stimulating foods are avoided, and excessive fatigue is avoided.
