Backache Problem During Pregnancy

As your baby grows, the hollow in your lower back may become more pronounced and this can also cause Backache.
During Pregnancy your ligaments become softer and stretch to prepare you for labour.
This can put a strain on the joints of your lower back and pelvis, which can cause backache.

How To Avoid Backache During Pregnancy?

1: Avoid lifting heavy objects.
2: Bend your knees and keep your back straight when lifting or picking something up from the floor.
3: Move your feet when turning round to avoid twisting your spine.
4: Wear flat shoes that allow your weight to be evenly distributed.
5: Work at a surface that is high enough so that you don't stoop.
6: Try to balance the weight between two bags when carrying shopping.
7: Sit with your back straight and well supported.
8: Make sure you get enough rest, particularly later in pregnancy.

How To Ease Backache During Pregnancy?


1: A firm mattress can help to prevent and relieve backache. If your mattress is to soft, put a piece of hardboard under it to make it firmer.
2: Massage can help.

Doctor Help in Backache During Pregnancy

If your backache is very painful, ask your doctor to refer you to an obstetric physiotherapist at hospital. They will be able to give you some advice and may suggest some helpful exercises.
