Tips To Tackle Pregnancy Back Ache If pregnancy were an advertisement, backache would be the highlight! During the care of prenatal, one must pay close attention to the changing needs of the body. As the belly protrudes with each trimester, the body’s center of gravity changes. The shift causes the strain of the increasing weight to fall on the back muscles, spine, and pelvis. The back pain that follows this change in center of gravity is known as the PGP or Pelvic Girdle Pain which spans the back, hips, spine, and pelvis. Does care of prenatal help reduce the pain? There are multiple ways to mitigate the pain. By bringing changes in your posture to practicing pregnancy yoga, you can save your back from breaking before the baby comes! Get moving: One of the main reasons for back pain is immobility. The lesser you move around or exercise, the tighter your muscles become. Regular exercise allows your body to loosen up and be flexible. Healthy physical movement is a crucial part of the care of prenatal. Rhythmic, deep breathing: That little one in there is really not ready to share space with your organs. The baby’s increasing weight and size can crunch the space up to your rib cages. Inhale and exhale deeply to allow the rib cage to move and release the back from the pressure. With pregnancy yoga, you will learn more breathing techniques as pain coping mechanisms. Buy a maternity belt: To balance the weight of the protruding belly, women often end up putting pressure on the lower back. It can lead to complications and extreme pain during labor. Strap on a maternity belt to help mitigate the effect of the weight. It also helps in easy bending and lifting without any discomfort. You can also wear it to your pregnancy yoga sessions. Relax your mind too: Many times it is mental stress that manifests itself into physical pain. It is important during the care for prenatal for the mind to be stressfree! The less tired and dull you feel, the lesser pain and discomfort.
