I was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis before pregnancy and my kamar pain has gotten so much worse now in 6th month. Honestly thoda scared if pregnancy is making the condition bad. Planning to ask my doc but wanted to hear from others too.
I have chronic back pain too and now in my 2nd trimester, it's getting worse. I am so scared that pregnancy will ruin my spine alignment. Has anyone else with spondylolisthesis managed to have a safe pregnancy and delivery?
Pregnancy releases a hormone called relaxin which loosens your ligaments, and that can definitely aggravate spinal conditions like spondylolisthesis. Use a good pregnancy support pillow for your back and sit with proper posture. Do get a specialized opinion from your doctor on how to handle delivery.
Yes, it definitely can because of the shifting center of gravity and hormones. Please consult both your orthopedic doctor and gynecologist to manage it safely.
Yes, the extra weight can put a lot of pressure on your spine. I had minor back issues, so I only did gentle prenatal yoga after my gynac and physical therapist cleared me. Please don't try any exercises without your doctor's permission!
Please take care of your back and stay positive, dear. Rest as much as possible and don't lift heavy things. God will give u the strength, but do consult your doctor for safe ways to manage the back pain.
