About Pregnancy Back Pain

Posted by Clair in Pregnancy Pains on Jan 1st, 2010 | 18 comments

Pregnancy is never easy even though some women seem to breeze right through without complications like pregnancy back pain. For many women, however, this is something that happens and must be endured. That does not mean that the pain has to remain and that there is not something that can be done about it. There is typical pregnancy pain in the back and hips, and then there is excessive pain that can mean something else is wrong. Your obstetrician may tell you it is just a part of pregnancy, but if you can not walk, something else can be wrong. You may have to take matters into your own hands.

Many doctors assume a woman is having natural and common pregnancy back pain. Many woman are not ready for it, so they will ask if anything can be done. When a baby gains weight, it throws off the center of gravity and the heavy uterus pulls on the lower back. When this happens, the spine will curve in and cause discomfort. This is why you see many pregnant women walk with their hands on their hips or back when they are near their due date. This can help somewhat with the pain. This back pain is common in pregnancy and is something that only rest can help.

However, when a woman finds that she has pregnancy back pain so bad that she can not walk as early as the second trimester, there could be another problem. The body produces a hormone that relaxes the joints. This is so that the pelvis can spread a bit during labor and there will not be as much pain or damage to the mom. Sometimes, when too much of this hormone is released, the joints can spread too much and the spine and pelvic joints can go out of place. This type of pregnancy back pain can be helped if you go to the right person.

When you can not walk and the pain is unbearable, you may want to talk to a chiropractor. They can line your spine back up and make sure your joints are in place. You may have to see them a few times, but you can get much relief in just one visit. When searching for a chiropractor, seek out one that specializes in pregnant.com”>pregnant women. They should have a table with a removable section for your belly and have some special training in pregnancy. Keep their number handy as you may need them a few times before you deliver. You will be glad that you did.

Pregnancy back pain may not always be about the body alignment. It can also signal that something is wrong. Some pain is okay, but if you have throbbing lower back pain that comes out of nowhere and will not let up, this could be a sign of pre-term labor. Some women have what is called back labor, which can be especially painful. If this pregnancy back pain is accompanied by spotting and some contractions, call your doctor at once to rule out premature labor or other complications of pregnancy.
