How To Reduce Back Pain During Pregnancy

April 16, 2009 at 5:31 am (Uncategorized)

Most women develop back pain at some point during pregnancy. As the size and weight of your growing abdomen place more strain on your back, you may notice your posture changing. To protect your back from poor posture, unnecessary strain, and painful injury, follow these guidelines:

1) Avoid standing with your abdomen forward and your shoulders back. Do the opposite.
2) When standing, rest one foot on a small box, brick, or stool. Try not to stand for long periods of time.
3) Sit with a back support or pillow against your lower back. If you must sit for prolonged periods, take a break every hour.
4) Avoid heavy lifting. Lift only by raising from a squat, keeping your waist and back straight.
5) Avoid stretching to reach something, such as on a high shelf or across a table.
6) Sleep on a firm mattress (plywood under a mattress helps). Lie on your side, with a pillow between your knees.
7) Stay active, and do simple back exercises.

You can help reduce back pain by wearing supportive, low-heeled shoes and avoiding flat or high-heeled shoes. A pregnancy support belt that rests under your abdomen can also help take the strain off of your back.

Soak in a warm tub, or apply heat or cold to your tired or achy back. Massage can help relieve muscle strain and tension.
