Common Reasons for Back Pain during Early Pregnancy: Moment of Truth Physical Therapy

Описание: If you’re experiencing early back pain during your first trimester—you're not alone. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for women to suffer from lower back pain during the early stages of pregnancy due to the rapid changes occurring in their bodies.

Fortunately, you don't have to accept the aching back pain you're currently feeling as the "new normal" until your baby arrives. Take a look at this overview of all the reasons you may be suffering from back pain during your first trimester—and how you can relieve the discomfort.

Postural changes—As your baby grows, your abnormal muscles will begin to stretch. As these muscles stretch, they won't be able to contract as well to keep your back in proper alignment.

· Relaxin hormones—During the first trimester, your placenta and ovaries begin to produce a hormone called “relaxin,” which loosens the ligaments in your pelvis to prevent premature birth. Since your ligaments hold your joints together, your joints lose their normal stability, which may result in lower back pain.

· Center of gravity shift—Once your baby develops substantial mass and your breasts begin to swell at the end of the first trimester, you may notice increased back pain. This phenomenon is due to a shift in your center of gravity. Since your pelvic muscles and core muscles are focused on supporting the extra weight in front of you, this creates a significant strain on your back muscles.

If you're committed to staying active, deep breathing, developing awareness, and distributing your body's tension, you likely won't experience back pain during the first trimester of your pregnancy.

You’ll also be able to identify the signals your body sends you, resulting in an easier pregnancy and a confident delivery.
