What kind of pains are common in the lower back during pregnancy?
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
The specialists described two common types of pain in the lower back during pregnancy: lumbar pain, which occurs in the region of the lumbar vertebrae in the lower back and posterior pelvic pain, which feels in the back of the pelvis. Some women have symptoms of both types of pain.
Low back pain is like pain in the lower back that may have experienced before pregnancy. It feels on the spine and around it, approximately waist level or slightly above. You can also radiate to the legs. Sitting or standing for long periods and lifting usually make the pain worse, and it tends to be more intense at the end of the day.
An even larger number of pregnant women have posterior pelvic pain, which feels lower than low back pain. You can feel deep in the buttocks, one or both, or in the back of the thighs. You may be triggered as a result of certain activities such as walking, climbing stairs, enter or exit the tub, sitting or rising from a low chair, roll over in bed, twisting and lifting.
The positions that flex the hips – like when you sit in a chair and you lean forward while sitting at the desk work – can worsen the posterior pelvic pain. Women with posterior pelvic pain are also more likely to have pain in the pubic bone.
