Back pain in early pregnancy

Many people think that pregnancy is a very difficult thing, but it is also a very happy thing. Although various reactions will occur during pregnancy, just thinking about the little life in your body will make you feel magical and full of happiness. In order to keep yourself and the fetus healthy, you need to pay more attention to some pregnancy knowledge, such as what is the reason for pregnant women to have back pain in the early stages of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, back pain during pregnancy is mostly 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 a doctor to see if there is a possibility of a herniated disc.

In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the influence of hormones, the joint ligaments relax, the uterus enlarges, and compresses the pelvic tissues and nerves. As the abdomen enlarges, the body's center of gravity moves backwards. In order to adapt to the balance of the body posture, the pregnant woman's waist protrudes forward, resulting in back pain.

So how can expectant mothers improve their symptoms? In addition to getting enough rest, prenatal exercise is also essential. Beauty-conscious mothers, please pay attention: at this time, you should try to reduce the wearing of high heels and wear low-heeled shoes when going out.

What should I do if I have back pain in early pregnancy? How to treat it?

First, the sleeping and sitting postures should be correct. Change positions frequently when sleeping. It is best to sleep on your side and try to raise your legs as much as possible to help eliminate soreness symptoms. Sit where you can lean your back and put a soft cushion on your back to help relieve back pressure.

Second, do some outdoor activities. Do not stand or walk for a long time, as this will aggravate the symptoms of back pain. During activities, if you feel back pain, you can sit down and rest for a while.

You can reduce some activities appropriately.

Third, self-massage your waist. Press your back flat with both hands and push up and down. Do not move the position where your hands are pressed, just press the muscles up and down. The effect is very obvious, and you can do it yourself at any time. You can do it when you feel back pain while sitting or walking. Of course, you can also ask your family to massage you before going to bed.

Fourth, you can support the front with your hands or use a support belt to support your stomach during activities. This can also reduce the gravity on your waist and relieve back pain.
