With 80% of pregnant women experiencing back pain, it is important to find solutions to this uncomfortable situation.
Some of the back pain may be due to poor posture or day-to-day work techniques. Always be aware of your sitting and standing posture and remember to lift with your knees not your back. Considering the additional weight that is being carried, there is an extra toll put on the body.
Do not be discouraged if after delivering, you find the pain has not completely disappeared. Remember it takes about 8 weeks after childbirth for the abdominal muscles to effectively stabilize the pelvis and protect the spine.
Massaging the lower back often will relieve tired, aching muscles. A lumbar support pillow used under the abdomen and between the knees will also reduce back pain. Don’t hesitate to exercise during pregnancy, just do it correctly! It can be as easy as walking or swimming.

How many hours a day do you spend sitting? Think about it! Whether it is driving behind the wheel of your car, sitting at the computer at the office or home or both! It can be easy to forget about ourselves during the workday but a good pillow can make all the difference.
Sitting positions can be some of the worst circumstances for our backs, causing headaches and pains in our necks and upper backs.

Take comfort in knowing you are not alone if you experience back pain during pregnancy. Reports verify that 50-70% of all women endure this same discomfort. Back pain can disrupt your daily routine or interfere with proper sleep at night. Plenty of rest is important during your pregnancy. How do I do that if my back aches? you may be asking! You should try to avoid sleeping on your back. Instead try sleeping on your left side and use a support pillow under your knees. Elevating your feet will also help your back.
Trust these few tips will help in those later months of pregnancy!
What an intricately made body we have! It is amazing how everything is connected and if one member is hurting, the body compensates for it.
A look at how our spine is designed shows a column of bones consisting of articulated vertebrae separated by inter-vertebral disks. Holding these spinal bones together are muscles and tendons. Our spinal column, of course, is what keeps us on our feet. Good support and posture are important for a healthy spine.
Whether we sit, lie down or stand, gravity is exerting a force on our joints, ligaments and muscles. This force needs to be distributed evenly so our structure is not under stress.
By using a back support pillow in the arch of the lower back, the ideal S-shaped curvature can be achieved preventing headaches and pains in the neck and upper back. Use these pillows with a chair or while sitting in a car.
A back support pillow is recommended while in a lying position. Once again these pillows can fill in the spaces under the head and neck.
Be kind and buy a present for your back, after all, who can support you better!
Let’s face it…pregnancy, while the most wonderful and amazing time in a women’s life, can also be the most tiring and painful nine months as well! A lumbar support pillow may reduce the back and neck pain, which are two of the most common discomforts.
Why is this pain experienced in the first place for someone who is pregnant? An increase in hormones leads to a shift in joints and loosening of ligaments that may affect the support a woman’s back usually experiences. Another cause, the centre of gravity gradually moves forward which causes a change in posture and then we have the additional weight of the baby that a pregnant woman’s back must support.
Consider a back rest pillow to make those nine months a truly pain-free journey!
