So you are now two months pregnant and that’s great until now you have had no problems with your back. Might be you were certain this would not change during entire pregnancy. I also thought same. But I was surprised in the second trimester of my pregnancy when I experienced pain in my back. It’s true that before and during pregnancy, woman has to be extra careful for herself as well as for the new life taking breathe inside her. During this time, your body changes frequently and some of these changes can be the cause of pain and discomfort in the next several months. Having spine pain or back pain is quite common because of not doing all the things women used to do when they were not pregnant. Most women often experienced back pain due to the intensive excretion of a hormone, responsible for preparing bones, ligament, pelvis and joints for childbirth. This hormone loosening the spinal ligament and thus it is more difficult for the spine to carry the load. During pregnancy, the spine’s lumbar section has to carry a lot of weight with the growing uterus and belly. Other reasons for aching back pain may be an incorrect posture of a mum to be, pushes her belly forward due to its weight and thus increases a natural curve of the spine in the lumbar section. As a result muscles are tensed and start to ache. This will make you feel pain in your back or somewhere else in the neck and in the pelvis area. Basic Rules to Follow • Stop wearing high heels. Flat sandals and shoes are recommended. • Avoid staying and sitting in the same position for too long. While working at a desk, regularly take a break. • When lying supine, put a pillow under your lower back or a pillow between the knees when sleeping on one side. • Deep breathing and gentle massage exercises will also maintain a strong and healthy spine. • Avoid lifting heavy loads and when you need to lift bags or other things, bend at the knees and keep the center of balance at the waist. • Do not twist your spine crane your neck and over reach. Make it easier to move with the help of swivel chair. • Do not eat for two, your baby don’t need so much extra food. Discuss your diet with your doctor as overweight is a burden for your spine. • When you rest, remember to put your feet literally up • Take bath from warm water but should not be too hot. Make use of supportive devices, bands and straps. For women, maternity pants and back support are recommendable especially who are at risk of having back related problems. In addition, wear comfortable clothes and shoes are recommendable. Always sit and stand in proper posture. Do not lean forward and while seated keep your back against the backrest.
