Back Pain During Pregnancy: Basic Physical Exercises You Can Do To Alleviate The Ache And Discomfort For An Enjoyable Pregnancy

Back pain during pregnancy is common for several women starting their second trimester. Weight gained from pregnancy can be anywhere from 12 - 35 pounds. Most of it is due to higher water retention and fat stores. Additionally, hormonal changes loosen ligaments that maintain the pelvic bones tightly together, forcing the back muscles to work more than usual to support the pelvis. As the abdomen increases in size during the course of the pregnancy, the center of gravity shifts further away from the sciatic spine, placing more force on the lower back. The upper back is affected to, as it now has to flex the upper torso forward to serve as a counterweight. The end result? Ache, slow movement, lowered activity, and fatigue.

The number one resolution for back pain during pregnancy is workout. Obviously, there is no stopping the natural addition of weight from pregnancy so one must prepare her body to handle the requirement. The ideal solution is arranged for for those who have the foresight to plan ahead, and is the most effective, and that is to build up strength and strength in the lower back muscles, buttock muscles, abs, and legs at least several months in advance of getting pregnant. Hiring a good personal trainer experienced in strength training is a great way to accomplish this. That way, by the time your second trimester gets there, your body will be better conditioned to deal with the sudden increase in weight.

For most women, especially if it is their first time getting pregnant, they did not take proactive steps in strengthening the body just before the pregnancy. This is especially true if the pregnancy was not prepared. In these cases, there are still safe and sound exercises one can do to temporarily relieve low back pain from pregnancy.

Pelvic tilts involve lying on the ground, knees bent with feet on the floor. Arms should be down to the sides, hands facing down. Press your lower back flat to the ground until there is no air space. This is done by contracting the upper abdominal muscles. If you are doing it appropriately, you should feel your lower back straighten out. Your upper buttocks will come off the floor slightly. It's an incredibly small movement, so don't push off your feet and arch your back. Your pelvis simply rocks backwards as you are lying down. Do about twenty repetitions. Put a small towel roll under your neck while you do this physical exercise as it will help decompress the discs in your neck, relieving tension.

A second exercise is to lie on your back, and prop your legs up on several pillows or other support. It must be just high enough that your knees are at at an ideal angle. Bend your feet upwards so that you feel a stretch in your calves. Hold for five seconds, and repeat 20 times. You can try out this exercise also one leg at a time. This act helps move lymph from your lower legs back into circulation.

In case you have access to a swimming pool, this is an excellent way to decompress your low back when you are in your third trimester. Try leaning your upper body on a large float, like an inner tube. The weight of your legs will traction, or slightly pull apart the vertebrae in your spine. This will take out some pressure from the discs and spinal joints and will feel great.

To conclude, exercises during pregnancy must focus on relieving tension to the lower back, as this is where most of the stress is being placed as the pregnancy progresses.
