How to recover quickly if a pregnant woman sprains her waist

During pregnancy, pregnant women lack a type of collagen in their bodies, which weakens the supporting strength of tendons and bones, making them more prone to lumbar sprains and causing back pain. If a pregnant woman sprains her waist, how can she recover quickly? In fact, after a pregnant woman sprains her waist, she should pay attention to rest and it is best not to use external ointments at will to avoid affecting the fetus.

1: Those with a sprained waist should lie prone, and family members should use their palms to rub and press on both sides of the spine from top to bottom, and massage down to the buttocks to the muscles under the thighs and behind the calves. After massaging several times, use the thumbs to massage and rub the most painful area several times.

1: Let the person with a sprained waist and a family member stand back to back. Both parties bend their elbows and hold each other. Then the family member lowers their head and bends over, picks up the patient and gently shakes him left and right. At the same time, let the patient kick his feet upwards. Put him down after about 3 to 5 minutes, rest for a few minutes and do it again. Generally, after reciting it a few times, the lower back pain will gradually improve. Then, recite it a few times a day until it is cured.

1: Wrap the heated salt or sand in a cloth bag and apply hot compress to the sprained area for half an hour each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. Be careful not to burn the skin.

1: Standing posture: When standing, pregnant mothers should hold their chest and head high, lean their abdomen slightly forward, pull their hips slightly forward, and bend their legs slightly. This posture can relax the lower back muscles and relieve lower back pain. When walking, do not wear high heels, choose soft and comfortable maternity flat shoes to reduce the burden on the lumbar spine.

2: Sitting posture: When pregnant mothers are sitting, they should keep their waist as straight as possible and put a soft cushion behind them. Choose a chair that suits you and sit as far back as possible with the lower part of your back pressed against the backrest. Also, don't sit on a chair that is too soft. You can also put your feet on a low stool to help blood circulation in your legs. Don't cross your legs, keep your feet flat on the ground. Avoid sitting in the same position for more than 30 minutes.

3: Sleeping position: When the pain in the waist and back is mild, you can rest in bed to relieve the pain and discomfort. It is best to sleep on your left side with your legs bent to reduce the burden on your waist. You can buy a pregnancy pillow. When lying on your side, you can bend one leg and put your knee on the pregnancy pillow. This position is also helpful in correcting the right rotation of the uterus that is prone to occur in late pregnancy, improving the blood supply to the uterus and placenta, and promoting fetal development.

If it is sprained, it is recommended to slowly adjust the condition, do not take any medicine, and it is best not to use oral or external ointments, because some medicines for treating lumbar sprain contain musk. Once pregnant women use such medicines, it will increase the risk of miscarriage.
