How Can You Treat Your Pregnancy-Induced Back Pain?
Although pregnancy brings many joys, it can also bring pain -- particularly lower back pain. During your second and third trimesters, the growing weight of your baby (as well as an increase in bodily fluids and a loosening of the joints in your pelvis and spine) can cause your vertebrae to buckle or strain, causing intense pain and discomfort. However, much of the pain medication traditionally prescribed for back pain is not recommended during pregnancy.
