Back pain 5 months pregnant

Back pain 5 months pregnant

After a woman becomes pregnant, her belly becomes bigger and the burden on her body becomes greater and greater. Walking and bending become very difficult. If the pregnant woman gains too much weight, she will also have back and leg pain and can only stay in bed every day, which is not good for her own health and the fetus. If you have lower back pain during your fifth month of pregnancy, it is best to consult a doctor to see if all indicators are correct and perform recovery exercises under the doctor's advice.

Tips for relieving back pain during 5 months of pregnancy

1. Avoid standing or sitting in the same posture for a long time. If you must sit for the entire time, don't just sit there, but move your feet up and down or do some simple leg exercises. If necessary, get up and move around every 1 to 2 hours.

2. Do some exercises suitable for pregnant women, such as prenatal exercises, walking, etc., to moderately exercise the muscles of the waist, abdomen and back. However, be careful not to lie down for a long time during any exercise after the late pregnancy to avoid compressing the abdomen and obstructing blood circulation.

3. Try to sit on a chair with a backrest. When sitting, your lower back should rest comfortably against the backrest, and your upper body should be straight. You can put a soft and comfortable cushion on the backrest.

4. Don’t wear high heels when walking. Try to wear breathable cotton flat shoes and relax your whole body.

5. When sleeping, adopt a curled-up side-lying position, and when lying on your back, place a pillow under your knees.

6. Avoid standing for long periods of time. If you must stand for a long period of time to work, you can use a footstool to rest your feet, which will also reduce the burden on your waist.

7. Lift your upper body while standing, and try to tilt your pelvis slightly backward and drop your shoulders back. For working pregnant women who have to stand for more than 4 hours a day, it is best to use a belly support belt.

8. Go out for more walks and get some sun bask in order to ensure your calcium intake. If necessary, you can take some calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor.

9. When taking a shower before going to bed, you can use slightly hot water to rinse your waist and back to relieve waist discomfort.

10. When changing from standing to walking, you should move your feet first and then move your body.
