Aches and pains come packaged up with pregnancy, serving us reminders that we’re not only carrying another human around in utero, but that it’s hard work to do too!
HORMONAL CAUSES
Your back is one part of your body that battles the most. It’s not just carrying extra weight around that strains your back and spine, as there are other causes too. Back pain, specifically in your lower back, can be caused by the release of hormones, including relaxin and progesterone. The release of these hormones can cause ligaments and joints to loosen, as your pelvic area and lower back prepare your body for the process of giving birth.
