The most effective technique for treating back pain during pregnancy is regular exercise. The pregnant women must avoid painkillers. Some suggested exercises to relieve back pain are walking, pelvic stretching, short crunches and bending knees while lifting head and exhaling.
Incorrect posture is also one of the cause for back pain while pregnant. Stand straight with an erect back. Do not be in the same posture for long time, try to change .
While lying, use pillows for support and maintain a parallel posture of the thighs. For getting up, turn to one side and move slowly on to a sitting position and then get up. For sleeping, lie down on your side especially towards the left.
Never lift or carry heavy objects. Do not carry the baby on one hip, as it pressurizes the back causing pain. Also, do not use high heels, rather look for broad and supporting heels. Use maternity bras to prevent stress on the shoulders and the rib cage.
Massaging softly relieves backache, as it improves blood circulation. You should be careful during massaging, if the cause of the back problem is sciatica, as it can worsen the condition.
Consult the doctor to discuss a diet plan, so as to gain weight according to your size and frame. Excess body weight will naturally put a lot of strain on the back.
