Many expectant mothers will find a lot of inconveniences after pregnancy, and many parts of the body will feel uncomfortable. In the early stages of pregnancy, some mothers will have back pain. So we need to understand whether it is normal to have back pain in the early stages of pregnancy? How to relieve back pain in the early stages of pregnancy?

It is normal to have back pain in early pregnancy. Mild back pain may occur during pregnancy, which has basically no effect on the body. There is no need to worry too much. It is considered that as the fetus grows slowly, the uterus will also increase, and then it will compress the spine, and naturally there will be a feeling of back pain. Moreover, if you do not pay attention to rest and work hard for a long time, this phenomenon will worsen. You need to rest more, and local hot compresses can also relieve it. As long as there are no symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, there is no need for conditioning and treatment. If the symptoms of back pain are more serious, you can go to the hospital for examination first. If you have orthopedic diseases, you may also have symptoms of back pain. You need to rest more at ordinary times. It is best not to overwork often and maintain a good attitude. It is best not to bear too much weight in the early pregnancy to avoid affecting the growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, there may be symptoms such as threatened abortion, which has a greater impact on the body of the fetus.

First, the sleeping and sitting postures should be correct. Change positions frequently when sleeping. It is best to sleep on your side and try to raise your legs as much as possible to help eliminate soreness symptoms. Sit where you can lean your back and put a soft cushion on your back to help relieve back pressure.

Second, do some outdoor activities. Do not stand or walk for a long time, as this will aggravate the symptoms of back pain. During activities, if you feel back pain, you can sit down and rest for a while. You can reduce the amount of activities appropriately.

Third, self-massage your waist. Press your back flat with both hands and push up and down. Do not move the position where your hands are pressed, just press the muscles up and down. The effect is very obvious, and you can do it yourself at any time. You can do it when you feel back pain while sitting or walking. Of course, you can also ask your family to massage you before going to bed.

Fourth, you can support the front with your hands or use a support belt to support your stomach during activities. This can also reduce the gravity on your waist and relieve back pain.

During pregnancy, as the uterus grows, the body's center of gravity will change. In order to maintain the body's balance, the muscles will be subjected to abnormal forces, which may cause muscle soreness during this period. In addition, in order to protect the abdomen after pregnancy, the human body will make some abnormal walking or standing patterns, which can also cause this kind of back pain symptoms. At the same time, it may also be due to the change of hormone levels in the body during pregnancy, causing the feeling of soreness in the waist. It is best not to have sex during pregnancy to avoid stimulating uterine contractions.

1. Exercise moderately during pregnancy. As the fetus grows and the weight increases day by day, the most suitable exercise for pregnant women is walking. Walk within your ability. When walking in the late pregnancy, someone should accompany you. When you have sensitive contractions, stop and rest for a while. When walking, try to walk on a flat place, because the abdomen of pregnant women in the late pregnancy is enlarged and pregnant women cannot see their feet, so as to avoid falling due to uneven roads. Climbing mountains and stairs is not recommended, because this kind of weight-bearing exercise may be very strenuous for pregnant women and increase the burden on the waist.

2. Massage the waist. Pregnant women will feel discomfort in the waist and back due to the change of body position, but pregnant women cannot undergo physical therapy, acupuncture, or apply plasters on the waist. The simple method is to rub your hands together until they are warm, then overlap them and place them in the middle of the lumbar spine, and push and rub them from top to bottom for 30-50 times to make the local area feel warm, which can relieve the discomfort in the waist. Another method is to make fists with both hands, roll and massage the waist around, from bottom to top, from top to bottom, repeatedly. The head can be tilted forward and backward to relax the waist and back muscles and relieve the soreness caused by waist and back muscle spasms. If you feel very tired when doing these methods yourself, you can ask your husband for help, but your husband should not use too much force when doing it, and comfort is the standard.

3. Control your weight. Some pregnant women do not have any early pregnancy reactions, but their appetite does not decrease. Even before the fetus leaves the pelvis, their weight has increased by more than ten pounds. After reaching the second trimester, their appetite often increases and they enjoy eating everything, resulting in overnutrition and rapid weight gain.
