Will I have back pain when I'm pregnant?

Girls should pay attention to their various symptoms during their early pregnancy. Since many girls are pregnant for the first time, they are not familiar with the various symptoms. If a disease occurs, they will not be able to receive targeted treatment in time? Women's low back pain is caused by the large size of the fetus, so it is important to conduct appropriate examinations in a timely manner. If it is within the normal and controllable range, there is no need to panic. So, will I have back pain when I first get pregnant?

1. Adjust your posture

1. Sitting posture: First, straighten your body, keep your upper body straight, place your legs vertically and flat on the ground, and try to get close to the back of the chair. You can put a pregnancy pillow under your lower back, or you can put your legs on a bench that is slightly lower than the chair to reduce the pressure of the abdomen on the waist. Also, be careful not to tense your body too much and keep your shoulders relaxed. Working moms can adjust the height of their desks and chairs while they are working. When you take a break, you can stretch and relax, and don't forget to stand up and walk around.

2. Standing posture: look straight ahead, chin in, chest up and hips in, abdomen slightly moved forward, legs slightly apart. When standing up from a chair, pregnant women should pay attention to straightening their legs first and then standing up slowly to avoid bending over. When walking, the body's center of gravity is placed on the toes, and the toes touch the ground first, followed by the heels. When climbing stairs, pregnant women should also pay attention to keeping their center of gravity forward, straightening their waists, and touching the ground with their toes first. It is recommended to hold the stair handrails.

3. Sleeping position: In the early stages of pregnancy, you can sleep on your back. When lying down, you can put a thin soft cushion behind your waist to relax your waist. In the second and third trimesters (after six months), it is best to sleep on your left side and avoid sleeping on your back. At this time, the pregnant woman's legs can be bent naturally, and a soft cushion can be placed on the lower limbs. The waist muscles will get a rest, which can relieve waist pain. In addition, you should never sleep on your stomach during pregnancy as this will put pressure on the baby in your belly.

2. Pay attention to the details of life

1. Exercise

You can choose gentle exercise such as walking. Take a walk with your family and friends in your free time, and choose a flat and easy place to walk. Don't walk for too long. If you feel tired, find a place to sit down and rest for a while. Pregnant women must avoid strenuous exercise such as climbing heights and lifting weights.

2. Get plenty of rest

Once you feel tired, stop what you are doing and take a break. Expectant mothers should learn to be lazy appropriately and not tire themselves and their babies.

3. Maintain a regular work and rest schedule to ensure sleep quality

Don't stay up late and disrupt your biological clock. If pregnant women don’t get enough rest, they will easily feel tired. You can make a cup of hot milk and soak your feet before going to bed to help you sleep.

4. Keep a positive and cheerful mood

Keep an optimistic and cheerful mood, and don't worry or be overly nervous. Nervousness will cause the body to secrete hormones that aggravate back pain. Pregnant women who maintain a good attitude will have more energy and can better cope with various problems in life.
