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.
