5 Easy Ways To Relief Backache During Pregnancy!

Back pain during pregnancy is very common. It happens because you're gaining weight, your hormones are relaxing the ligaments in the joints of your pelvis and changes in centre of your gravity. 

Consider five ways to ease back pain during pregnancy:

1. Maintain good posture:

Keep these principles of good posture in mind:
-stand up straight.
-hold your chest high.
-keep your shoulders backwards and relaxed.
- keep your feet wide for the best support.
If you have to stand for long periods of time, take frequent breaks.
Good posture also means sitting with proper care. Choose a chair that supports your back, or place a small pillow behind your lower back.
Wear low-heeled — not flat — shoes with good arch support. Avoid high heels.

2. Lift properly:

When lifting a small object, squat down and lift. Don't bend at the waist. It's also important to know your limits. Always ask for help if you need it.

3. Sleep on your side:

Sleep on your side, not your back. Keep one or both knees bent. Use pillows between your bent knees, under your abdomen and behind your back.

4. Massage your back, use heat or cold:

While evidence to support their effectiveness is limited, massage or the application of a heating pad or ice pack to your back might help.

5. Regular physical activity:

Regular physical activity keeps your back strong and might relieve back pain during pregnancy. You might also stretch your lower back.
