Backpain during pregnancy.
MAY, 1│ 2013
A large number of mothers suffer
from backache during pregnancy. The standard situation, can
become very annoying if you are not careful.
What to do before and after Childbirth
The "backaches"
are
often due to a bad position during pregnancy. The higher
front body weight due to the presence of the baby in the
uterus shifts the Centre of gravity and requires balance
readjustment to compensate. This situation exaggerates the
otherwise normal curve of the spine and therefore causes
tension in the lower back causing pain. The relaxation of
ligaments resulting from hormonal activity can also cause
sciatic pain. This influences the pregnancy (starting from
the second quarter and more specifically the sixth month)
and it's effects are primarily felt by the pregnant mother
in the evening. Various elements such as age, condition of
the back, fitness, the number of children and the weight
gained during pregnancy may worsen the intensity of pain.
The usual recommended practice of
physical activities is to relax the spine, strengthening the
muscles. You can opt for yoga or gymnastics practice to
improve on the situation. It is recommended to practice
under qualified supervision; for instance under the guidance
of a physiotherapist so that the symptoms can improve.
Also, watch your diet to avoid
excessive weight gain between 9 and 12 pounds on average.
Get enough rest and take a nap as often as possible. You
may also follow specific medical sessions to strengthen your
abs. As a final point, don't hesitate to ask your partner or
husband for some relaxing massage.
Avoid pregnancy strain
-Avoid caring heavy objects.
-Stay away from long car journeys. If you have to travel,
take a break at least every hour and put a cushion in your
back.
-Sit properly: when sat on a Chair, keep your feet flat,
along with your back and thighs to the right.
-Bend your knees rather than folding them in half to catch
an object. Stopping vacuuming is highly recommended.
-Keep your heels short (maximum 2 cm) and get a comfortable
pair.
-Subscribe to pool: swimming is favored for pregnant
mother's back. Breathing is easier, because the nose and
mouth are out of the water.
Leg movements are identical as for crawling (beats) and work
calves muscles. There should be no effort from your back.
All the back muscles are strengthened, thus easing the pain.
In any case, do not take any medication without
prescription!
-Stay as straight as you can without pushing the stomach
forward.
-During sleeping time, lift up your feet and your neck
using a cushion or a specific pregnancy pillow which, offers
better ergonomic. The most suitable position is to be curled
up on your left flank, keeping the pillow between your
knees.
If you experience pain, talk to
your doctor as soon as possible. They may prescribe
physiotherapy, osteopathy or acupuncture.
