My lower back has been aching a lot lately, mostly by evening. Im in my 6th month and the bump is growing fast now. Just wondering what all could be causing it, anyone else dealing with this?
Back pain mostly comes from the growing belly shifting your posture and hormones loosening the joints. I had it both pregnancies, especially later on. Good posture, a supportive pillow and not lifting heavy things helped me.
My back has officially filed a complaint against this belly yaar. Honestly the bigger I got the more it ached. A warm compress and a good pillow are my best friends now.
My doctor said the extra weight, the shift in your centre of gravity and the hormone relaxin loosening ligaments all cause back pain. She suggested gentle stretches and good support. She also said if back pain comes with fever or is very sudden and severe, get it checked.
