The causes of back pain include: hormonal changes during pregnancy, which loosen the joints; the change in the center of gravity of the pregnant mother's body, which gradually moves forward as the fetus grows, increasing the burden on the lumbar spine and coccyx, causing too much strain on the muscles; when excess water in the mother's body flows into the veins in the pelvic area, the lumbar nerves and spine do not get enough oxygen. Expert advice: Experts suggest that expectant mothers should wear single socks and low-heeled shoes to adjust their center of gravity backwards when they are active during the day.
