Pregnancy Back Pain

Back pain during pregnancy is a very common concern that can affect a woman’s mobility and overall quality of life. It usually occurs in the later stages of pregnancy, most often in the lower back, and can radiate into the buttocks, thighs, or legs.

Symptoms of Pregnancy-Related Back Pain

Common, mild symptoms may include:

• ✔ Dull ache or sharp pain in the lower back
• ✔ Pain on one side of the lower back
• ✔ Discomfort radiating to the thighs, legs, or feet
• ✔ Difficulty lifting the front part of the foot while walking

More severe symptoms can include:

• ✔ Intense or persistent back pain
• ✔ Cramping or rhythmic pain
• ✔ Difficulty urinating
• ✔ Sudden onset of severe pain that progressively worsens

If you experience these severe symptoms, it is strongly recommended to consult a healthcare provider immediately.

Causes of Pregnancy Back Pain

Several physical and hormonal changes during pregnancy can contribute to back pain, including:

• ✔ Changes in posture due to the growing belly
• ✔ Increased body weight
• ✔ Stress and muscle tension
• ✔ Hormonal changes that loosen joints and ligaments
• ✔ Abdominal muscle separation
• ✔ Pre-existing lower back conditions
• ✔ Rare conditions such as pregnancy-linked osteoporosis, vertebral arthritis, or septic arthritis

Diagnosis

To diagnose pregnancy-related back pain, your healthcare provider will review your medical history, evaluate symptoms, and conduct a physical examination. They may focus on the specific region of discomfort and assess the severity of pain to recommend the most appropriate care.
