What to do if my waist hurts during pregnancy

Don't think that there are no other complications during pregnancy except nausea and vomiting. In addition to nausea and vomiting, as the uterus begins to grow larger, it will compress the pelvic cavity, causing pain in the entire lumbar spine. Even movement will feel very painful and uncomfortable. This is a common reaction during pregnancy, so you must pay attention to rest.

Causes of low back pain Causes of low back pain

① The abdomen is heavy and the correct posture cannot be maintained, and the waist muscles are easily fatigued, thus causing low back pain. It is said that once people start walking on two legs, back pain is inevitable. What's more, a pregnant woman's belly feels like it has a heavy bag hanging on it, or rather, it is natural for her to have back pain. ①Heavy abdomen, unable to maintain

②Due to pregnancy, the hormone secretion in the human body changes. In order for the baby to pass smoothly through the birth canal during delivery after pregnancy, the human body secretes a hormone that relaxes the ligaments connecting the pelvis. This hormone also relaxes the muscles, increasing the curvature of the spine, making back pain more likely.

③ Lack of exercise causes a person’s basic physical strength to decline. When your physical strength decreases, you cannot maintain a normal posture and are prone to back pain.

④In addition, the impact on the uterus and fetus can also cause low back pain.

It may be a continuation of low back pain during pregnancy. The most fundamental change during pregnancy is body deformation. As the fetus grows and grows, the center of gravity of the human body gradually moves forward and the pelvis gradually tilts forward, thus forming a hunched waist, sunken hips and sticking buttocks posture of pregnant women. Due to the lordosis of the lumbar spine, the force will naturally be concentrated on the back of the lumbar spine, causing chronic injury and resulting in low back pain.

Anterior pelvic tilt is closely associated with low back pain because the pelvis is the base of the spine. During pregnancy, the pelvis tilts forward, the lumbar spine will inevitably arch forward, the posterior lumbar spine will be overstressed, and low back pain is inevitable. After childbirth, the lumbar spine tilts forward more obviously, which is also the high-risk group for postpartum low back pain. Therefore, correcting the pelvic tilt is the key to recovery from postpartum low back pain.
