What causes low back pain during pregnancy?

When women are pregnant, they often experience various discomfort symptoms. Some of these symptoms are normal for pregnant women. Of course, some symptoms are caused by certain diseases, such as back pain during pregnancy. So what is the cause of lower back pain during pregnancy? Is it normal or abnormal? Let’s analyze it together below.

It is normal to have back pain in the early stages of pregnancy and it is within the normal range. This is because, in the early stages of pregnancy, the joint ligaments relax due to the influence of hormones, the uterus enlarges, and compresses the pelvic tissues and nerves. As the abdomen enlarges, the body's center of gravity moves backwards, and in order to adapt to the balance of the body posture, the pregnant woman's waist protrudes forward, resulting in back pain. Symptoms such as back pain in the early stages of pregnancy are related to poor physical condition or excessive fatigue, and it is necessary to consider the possibility of threatened abortion. Occasional mild pain does not need to be treated, because as the fetus grows, the waist's ability to withstand pressure becomes greater and greater, so back pain is inevitable. But it is worth noting that if a pregnant woman feels severe abdominal pain, or finds that there is vaginal bleeding, be careful of ectopic pregnancy and check in time.
