Pregnancy can be one of the most joyful experiences, but it can also come with aches and pains. Lower back pain, in particular, is a common part of pregnancy for many women.
When it comes to managing back pain during pregnancy, you have many different options. Here are some suggestions:
✅️ Check Your Posture - You may feel like you’re going to fall forward as your baby grows, and to prevent this, you might lean back when you stand. This puts extra stress on lower back muscles, which can cause pain. To keep your back from getting sore, try practicing good posture when you stand and sit.
✅️ Be a Side Sleeper - Avoid sleeping on your back and sleep on your left side instead. This improves circulation and prevents your body weight from pressing on your liver.
✅️ Exercise Daily - Exercise can keep muscles strong, support good posture and decrease pain. Consider mild activities like going for a short walk, prenatal yoga or swimming.
✅️ Practice Proper Lifting - Be mindful when lifting groceries or boxes of baby clothes. Make sure to bend your knees, keep your back straight as you pick up objects and push up with your legs rather than your back. Avoid lifting anything too heavy all together.
✅️ Get a massage - A massage can instantly relieve back pain and help stress and anxiety melt away.
✅️ Get a Chiropractic Adjustment - An adjustment can alleviate back pain, improve posture and help achieve optimal fetal positioning assisting with a smoother birth process.
