Back pain during pregnancy is not a surprise. Every pregnant woman experiences back pain or an itchy back during this period. But the good news is that your baby is developing healthy inside the womb, so don’t worry, the pain will go away soon. Usually, you experience back pain or body pain in the last trimester. This is when your body produces a relaxing hormone that helps in childbirth. This hormone helps relax the ligaments of the body. Sometimes, this hormone makes pregnant women unstable and stressed.
One of the most common causes of back pain is the growth of the baby in the belly and the muscle strain from carrying the baby weight. Read the full blog to know how to minimize back pain.
To prevent your back pain during pregnancy, keeping a hot and cold bag on your back may do wonders. Putting a cold and heated (lukewarm) water bag on your back for 20-25 minutes will give you miraculous relief from pain. Do not apply heat on your belly.
Regular exercises strengthen your body's muscles, increase flexibility, and relax your muscles from abdominal and back pain. You can do some light exercises like walking, breathing and floor exercises that are safe for you and your baby. Before starting exercise, consult with your doctor to transform your pregnancy into a great experience. You should know which exercises are best for you to do in the first and third trimesters of your pregnancy.
Sometimes, when you’re under stress, it will result in body pain. So, to cure the pain, connect with a counselor or talk with your loved ones. This will help you reduce stress. Apart from these relaxing activities, you can also listen to the Garbh Sanskar music, Vedic mantra, mentoring from experts, etc. These will help you reduce your stress level resulting in relief from back pain during pregnancy.
Make sure your sleeping and sitting posture while working or doing any activity is correct. Here is some important advice for improving postures to reduce back pain:
There are many causes of having back pain during pregnancy. Here are some -
A woman gains about 10 to 15 kg of body weight during pregnancy as she is carrying a life within. The spinal cord has to support that weight that causes lower back pain. As your belly grows, it will put pressure on the pelvis muscles and blood vessels.
Stress during pregnancy causes tension and leads to back pain. You might have experienced your back hurting while you feel stressed and unstable.
As your belly expands, the separation of two muscles reaches the pubic bone. This separation of muscles during pregnancy can affect you the most and cause back pain. Most of the time, you experience back pain in the second half of pregnancy.
Research has shown that during pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body releases a hormone called relaxin that allows pelvic muscles to relax, which leads to pain and discomfort.
These are some causes and treatments of back pain during pregnancy, but back pain can also be accompanied by something else, like labor pain, premature delivery, and urinary tract infection. If you have back pain or vaginal bleeding, consult your doctor immediately.

Q 1. When should I be worried if I experience back pain during pregnancy?
Back pain during pregnancy is extremely common, especially in the early stages. During pregnancy, the ligaments of the body become softer and stretch themselves to prepare for childbirth. This can put a strain on the joints of the lower back and pelvis, which can cause back pain during pregnancy.
If you have back pain during pregnancy and notice vaginal bleeding, fever, or burning sensation during urination, contact your doctor right away.
Q2. When does back pain occur during pregnancy?
As per research, lower back pain is a common occurrence during the fifth and seventh months of pregnancy. Although, in a few cases it might begin as early as 8 to 12 weeks.
If you have pre-existing back pain, you are at higher risk of back pain, and you might experience back pain during early pregnancy.
Q3. Is back pain during pregnancy a sign of miscarriage?
It is possible that you might experience back pain during pregnancy without relating it to a miscarriage. Back pain is a common side-effect of carrying a baby in the womb so it’s nothing to worry about.
However, intense back pain along with blood discharging from vagina is more likely an indication of miscarriage.
