This is the evil of the century ... No wonder that during pregnancy, where the balance of our body is turned upside down, back pain is even more common.

Back pain usually appears during the 2nd trimester, to intensify until the end of the pregnancy. The pains mainly affect the lumbar, that is to say the lower back. Sometimes they go down to the buttocks and upper thighs: it is sciatica, back pain very common in pregnant women.

Pain in the back during pregnancy: the causes
The explanation is mechanical: while your belly rounds, your back is arching. With the weight of the baby, your center of gravity is projected forward, but your abs, stretched by pregnancy, no longer play the game. Result: it is the entire lower back that compensates. And as always during pregnancy, the hormones also put their grain of salt: at the approach of the term, some prepare your body for the day by causing a loosening of the ligaments, especially in the lower back and joints of the sacrum and pelvis.
