When you are around five months pregnant with your baby’s growth, your muscles and ligaments are stretched to support this new weight. The result may be a new set of aches and pains as your body adjusts to the load. As a result it is very common to suffer from lower back pain during your pregnancy.
With your baby’s growth the ligaments band that supporting your womb will suffer from heavy pressure. This will cause pain and discomfort on your stomach, buttocks and thighs. Some women can slo suffer from sciatic nerve pain .
Mild exercises such as pelvic tilt exercises will help you to relax muscles around affected area and relieve your pain. The pelvic tilt can be performed while standing against a wall, but may be most comfortable done keeling on the floor.
Keep your head aligned with your spin, pull in your abdomen, tighten your buttocks and tilt your pelvis forward. Your back will naturally arch up. Hold the position for three seconds, then relax.Remember to keep you back straight in this neutral position. Repeat the tilt three to five times, eventually working up to ten repetitions.
The root of all things uncomfortable – pregnancy homophones also contributes to the lower back pain you may be experiencing. Progesterone and relax in the hormone responsible for softening your pelvic ligaments for delivery are also loosening up your lower back ligaments and disks and combined with the weight of your growing belly, your back is feeling the strain.
Women who are having twins or more are especially prone to lower back pain, which occurs in up to 50 percent of all pregnant women. If you feel that you are suffering from severe lower back pain or sciatic nerve pain you should contact your doctor immediately.
Some pregnant women also suffer from fever, heavy vaginal bleeding and discharges or vomiting, all these may signal other medical problems that should be addressed as early as possible.
