Backache
During pregnancy ligaments become softer and stretch to prepare you for labour. This can put a strain on the joints of your lower back and pelvis which can cause backache. As the baby grows, the hollow in your lower back may increase and this may also cause backache.
To avoid backache:
avoid heavy lifting;
bend your knees and keep your back straight when lifting or picking something up from the floor;
if you do have to carry something heavy, hold it close to your body;
move your feet when turning round to avoid twisting your spine;
