Many expectant mothers will have back pain and leg puffiness during pregnancy, which is likely to be due to changes in hormone peace and body shape.
Most of the back pain and puffiness are not diseases, but they will indeed bring a lot of trouble to the lives of expectant mothers. Today we will talk about how to alleviate the problem of waist soreness and puffiness.
Do not "endure" back pain, and actively mediate during pregnancy
About 65% to 80% of expectant mothers have back pain, but some expectant mothers feel that this is what they will experience during pregnancy, and it is good to endure, and only when the goods are unloaded can they be relieved.
First of all, not all back pain is not a disease, if you have back pain at the same time as the following situations, must be paid attention to, timely medical treatment:
· The first is back pain, fever, or lower extremity numbness, which needs to be ruled out;
· The first is the presence of paresthesias at the base of the leg or vulva, perianal perianal, or difficulty in stool or urine, etc., considering the possibility of compression of the nerves, it is recommended to seek medical attention to find out the cause;
· Paroxysmal low back pain in the third trimester of pregnancy, accompanied by abdominal tightness, requires vigilance to rule out the possibility of preterm birth. If your low back pain is not in these situations, then you can do more than just "endure" it.
In general, the causes of low back pain during pregnancy can be divided into two categories:
First, due to uterine increase during pregnancy, the mother-to-be's weight will move forward, and the pressure on the lumbar back muscles and joints will increase.
Secondly, due to hormonal changes after pregnancy, such as relaxin liters, resulting in joint relaxation, coupled with some expectant mothers, less plain exercise, weaker psoas muscles and abdominal muscles, expectant mothers are more likely to have low back pain.
Looking closely at the two, you may not be difficult to find that there are many ways to relieve and treat this soreness, and you really don't suffer in silence until the goods are unloaded.
4 To relieve back pain, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time
Next, we will introduce 4 "symptomatic medicines" to relieve pain.
First, just adjust the down, sitting, and lying posture.
If you are used to wearing heels or shoes with heels, it is best to wear less during pregnancy, and choose shoes with low heels and soft soles. You can also add cushions to the chair or sofa you often sit on to relieve the pressure on the waist.
The bed should not be too soft, too soft bed to the waist can not support, but also cause soreness, harder bed is more conducive to protect the waist. In addition to the choice of bed, the sleeping position also has an impact, it is recommended to lie on your side when sleeping, and you can also pad pillows between the knees and behind the waist.
In the middle of life, we must also pay attention to reducing the movement of the waist, such as trying not to mention the east that is too heavy. For this kind of "heavy" work, you can ask him to do it for you. If you want to pick up the east, it is best to crouch down to pick it up, do not bend down directly to pick it up.
First, if you have weak muscle mass and sore legs, you can also do some targeted exercises during pregnancy. The stretching movements or swimming of yoga for pregnant women that we described in the previous article are good exercise styles. These exercises, in addition to a very small number of special expectant mothers, can play a certain role in improving the situation of some waist soreness.
However, pay attention to the pre-exercise consultation doctor to confirm whether you are suitable for these exercises, but also to determine the safety of exercise, this part of the content we also have in the previous article also introduced.

Of course, you can also let the father-to-be massage the lower back before going to bed, so that the other half understands the difficulty of pregnancy and increases the feelings of husband and wife.
Finally, if you feel that your pain has affected your normal life, it is also appropriate to take medicine. For example, you can parayophen, the drug name is "must be rational" to relieve pain, this is a kind of medicine, pharmacies can buy, this drug is also relatively safe during pregnancy.
However, if you have been on medication for 1 week and have not improved, or the pain is obvious, you need to see a doctor in time. If the mitigation measures introduced earlier also relieve symptoms, and if symptoms worsen, you also need to see a doctor.
