Why Back Pain occurs

As pregnancy progresses , our body goes through changes and releases new kinds of hormones (relaxin) in adaption for birthing process, these changes and alterations means well to loosen up our muscles and ligaments for the big 'pushing-out' day. And do remember, your growing uterus plays a role in disorientating our spinal posture, as it grows bigger the more discomfort may be felt.

Tips for Relief  


Here come's the good part, the pain can be or probably have chances of subsiding. Try one of these few tips and see if it suits you.

  1. Maintaining a good posture. Sit up straight, and use a chair preferably support with a cushion. Elevate your legs a little, this may help in adjusting your pelvic position and ease the pain. When standing, stand up straight, shoulders laid back and relaxed. If you could, avoid standing in the same position for long duration.  Standing up straight may be one of the easiest yet best ways in relieving your back ache.
  2. Footwear.This is no time for fashionista , in pregnancy high heels are a no, no. They're no good when you're not even pregnant, so when you are they are worse.
