If you have back pain during pregnancy, consult the doctor if you have any of the following symptoms: extreme discomfort, pain that persists for more than two weeks, cramps at regular intervals and gradually intensify.
Back pain is common during pregnancy and it should be expected to some degree by most women. The symptoms may be experienced during any point of your pregnancy.
The position of the baby within the pelvis is thought to be the cause of back pain. There are numerous positions in which you might try to alleviate the pain. These positions may also allow the baby to shift into a more favourable delivery position.
It's fine to use a heating pad to relieve aches and pains in the back, hips, and joints caused by pregnancy. But, do not use it for more than 20 minutes.
