Almost 70 percent of women complain about back pain during their pregnancy. While those who have had a history of back pain in the past, it is easier to cope with it in their current state. Those who have had no such aches find it extremely difficult to cope. You will experience back pain towards the end of the day after you’ve completed all your work. This is your body’s way of telling you that it has been overworked and is seeking rest.

While you can take a few precautions like avoid wearing high heel shoes and carrying heavy weight to avoid such pains, you will need to administer some curative measures as well. Avoid standing for long periods and when you are standing make sure to distribute your weight equally on both feet. This helps to reduce the strain on your back as well as your legs. Maintain a good posture at all times, avoid sitting bent over as this adds strain to your back.

A gentle massage helps to soothe aching muscles. Request your partner to assist you with a gentle massage before you go to bed every night. If the pain is severe then ask a professional for help.

Have a hot water bath or use a hot water bottle to help you to get rid of your ache. The hot water compression will reduce muscle tension and soften them. Use Sea salts in the water to help relieve the pain quickly.

Most pregnant women use a support pillow at night while sleeping. This helps to ease the pain and acts as a support to straighten your back at night. Use this pillow while driving or sitting as well.

Try using a support belt to direct the strain away from your back onto other parts of your body.
