If you are experiencing back pain do not worries you are not alone about 50% of women face this problem during pregnancy phase. It can be severe enough to make you unable to do simple things and cause severe pain. It’s also seen that those who experience back pain during first pregnancy are predisposed to the same condition in the following pregnancy. Maternal weight gain, exercise, work satisfaction, or pregnancy outcome factors such as birth weight, birth length, and Apgar scores has found to be insignificant association with increased risk of back pain with pregnancy.
Abdominal sagittal and transverse diameter and depth of lumbar lordosis are some biomechanical factors of pregnancy that are to be associated with low back pain of pregnancy. Standing, sitting, forward bending, lifting, and walking are typical aggravating factors of back pain during pregnancy. If your back pain is radiating into the thigh and buttocks, pain gets severe enough to wake you up at night, pain increased during either night or day is also a form of back pain that occurs during pregnancy. Try to avoid high impact, weight-bearing activities and especially those that asymmetrically load the involved structures such as extensive twisting with lifting, single-leg stance postures, stair climbing, and repetitive motions at or near the end-ranges of back or hip motion as these activities can worsen the pain. Direct bending to the ground without bending the knee causes severe impact on the lower back in pregnancy and in normal individuals, which leads to strain, especially in the lumbo-saccral region that in turn strains the multifidus muscle.
