Sudden back pain in late pregnancy

The late pregnancy is the period when pregnant women are about to give birth. There are many things that women in this period need to pay attention to, and women in this period often have many abnormal physical reactions, including severe back pain. Generally speaking, women will experience back pain when they are pregnant, but many people don’t understand much about back pain in this situation. So what is the reason for sudden severe back pain in the late pregnancy?

Minor back pain: (1) Use a special pregnancy belt. Tie a belt or a special pregnancy belt around the pregnant woman's abdomen to support the pregnant woman's waist and relieve pain.

(2) Maintain a correct standing posture. The correct standing posture is to keep your legs slightly apart, your back straight, your chest up, and your chin tucked in. If you hold your posture correctly, your big belly won't be noticeable. Don't stand up or sit down too quickly, and it's best to have something to hold on to.

(3) Do appropriate exercise. You should also do appropriate exercise during pregnancy, choose suitable gymnastics or swimming for pregnant women, and exercise according to your personal situation to enhance your physical strength.

(4) Choose appropriate beds, shoes, etc. Don't sleep on a bed that is too soft, as it can easily cause your waist to sink, causing or aggravating low back pain. Also choose more comfortable shoes and avoid wearing high heels.

(5) Dietary adjustment. You can eat some foods that can relieve back pain in pregnant women: such as foods rich in protein, calcium, B vitamins, vitamins C and D.

(6) Massage and local hot compress. Pregnant women with back pain can do home massage exercises. Have family members help with back massage. You can also apply local hot compresses using hot towels, gauze or hot water bottles. Applying hot compresses for half an hour every day can also relieve pain.

(7) Keep warm. When the weather is cold, you must keep warm. Catching a cold can cause adverse reactions in the kidneys, and in severe cases, it can cause low back pain.

Severe low back pain: (1) When pain occurs, lie down with the painful side facing upward and your back arched.

(2) When you feel pain, lying on your back with your face up and placing a large pillow under your knees will be more comfortable.

(3) If the pain is severe and you cannot lie down, you can find a low step to sit on and support your jaw with your hands.

(4) Apply a hot compress with a wet towel or take a bath with hot water. After severe low back pain subsides, be sure to seek medical attention immediately.
