Will I have back pain during pregnancy?

Most of the back pain caused by pregnancy is due to changes in posture. As the uterus grows larger, the waist will involuntarily lean back in order to overcome the protruding abdomen, causing local muscle pulling. If the condition is serious, you should consult an orthopedic surgeon to see if there is a possibility of a herniated disc. In addition to considering medical conditions, such as miscarriage, cystitis, gastroenteritis, uterine fibroids, etc., abdominal pain on both sides may be caused by the enlarged uterus, which pulls on the round bands that fix the position of the uterus on both sides, and it is particularly likely to occur on the left side. It usually occurs after certain postures, such as standing up suddenly, bending over, coughing or sneezing, and usually disappears after 2 to 3 weeks.

Due to pregnancy, hormone secretion in the human body changes. In order for the baby to pass smoothly through the birth canal during delivery after pregnancy, 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, making back pain more likely. That's normal.

Suggestions:

Pay attention to proper physical exercise, nutrition and correct sleeping posture, such as lying on the left side. You can lie flat on the bed and let your family gently massage your painful muscles. When muscles become tense, lactic acid accumulates locally, causing pain. You can use a towel for hot compress. Simple hot compress and gentle massage can promote blood circulation in the muscles, enhance muscle nutrition and relieve pain.

Back pain during pregnancy often occurs in the middle and late stages, especially after twenty-five or twenty-six weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the uterus gradually enlarges and the abdomen bulges forward. When standing, the center of gravity moves forward. In order to maintain body balance, the pregnant woman's body will tilt backward, and the center of gravity shifts backward to above the buttocks. The weight of the pregnant woman's upper body is borne by the lumbar spine and waist muscles.
