Im in my second trimester and my kamar pains so much by evening, especially after standing in kitchen. Just want to understand why it happens at this stage. Is it normal part of pregnancy?
It's mostly because of the pregnancy hormone relaxin softening your ligaments, plus the weight shift. But if the pain is very sharp or accompanied by any cramps, a doctor's advice is always best.
Don't worry, back pain is completely normal as your baby grows. Try sitting with a cushion behind your back and avoid standing for too long. Let your husband do the heavy lifting!
I kept up with my morning walks and light prenatal yoga, but only after my doctor explicitly allowed it. It kept my lower back strong, but please check with your doctor before starting any exercise.
Because of my PCOS, I was extra careful about every ache. Gentle walks helped me stay mobile, but I never tried any heavy stretches without asking my doctor first.
My tracker app said back pain starts peaking around week 20 because of posture changes. Doing gentle prenatal stretches really helped me. You can track your daily pain levels to show your gynac.
Oh, that back pain is so tough, I remember crying on some nights. Your body is doing so much hard work to grow a life, please give yourself some grace and rest.
For me, warm water baths and sleeping with a pregnancy pillow between my knees were the only things that helped. I didn't take any pain balms or medicines, just rested.
I used to waddle like a duck by the third trimester because of this backache! It all vanishes the moment you hold your baby, so hang in there, this phase will pass.
