Pregnancy Aches, Pains & Backaches
So many things about your body change during pregnancy. So is it any wonder there are all these new aches, pains, and backaches? When your uterus expands to hold that growing baby, pains in the back, abdomen, groin area, and thighs often start. Many women also experience the backaches and aching near the pelvic bone due to the pressure of the baby’s head, increased weight, and loosening joints.
To ease some of these pregnancy aches and pains try:
- Lying down
- Resting
- Applying heat
- Stretching gently or mild prenatal yoga
If you are worried or the pains do not get better, call your doctor.
