Does Your Back Ache During Pregnancy
Nearly every pregnant woman experiences backache at some time in pregnancy. You may have felt it already or it may come later as you get bigger. Some women have severe back pain following excessive exercise, walking, bending, lifting or standing. It is more common to have mild backache than severe problems. Some women need to take special care getting out of bed or getting up from sitting. In severe instances, some women find it difficult to walk.

A change in joint mobility may i contribute to the change in your posture and may cause discomfort in the lower back. This is particularly true in the latter part of pregnancy.
The growth of the uterus moves your center of gravity forward, over your legs, which can affect the joints around the pelvis. All of your joints are looser. Hormonal increases are potential causes; however, pain may also be an indication of more serious problems, such as pyelonephritis or a kidney stone. Check with your healthcare provider if back pain is a chronic problem for you.

What can you do to prevent or lessen your pain? Try some or all of the following tips as early in your pregnancy as possible, and they will pay off as your pregnancy progresses.
• Watch your diet and weight gain.
• Continue exercising within guidelines during pregnancy.
• Get in the habit of lying on your side when you sleep.

• Find time during the day to get off your feet and lie down for 30 minutes on your side.
• If you have other children, take a nap when they take theirs.
• It's OK to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for back pain.
• Use heat on the area that is painful.
• If pain becomes constant or more severe, talk to your healthcare provider about it.

Back pain is a common complaint during pregnancy. You can probably blame your growing uterus and hormonal changes for your aching back.

Not only pregnancy women, but all those people who got heavy belly will face lower back ache problem. In pregnancy women it is very common to find back ache problems. I think little bit physical therapy will help to ease this problem.

My sister had some major backaches with both her pregnancies; her doctor recommended a "belly bra" that helped shift the weight of her stomach so that it didn't put so much strain on her lower back.
