Waist pain and back pain which are the most common complaints
during pregnancy, usually disappear 2-3 months after birth. The gradual growth
and worsening of the fetus during pregnancy is one of the main causes of low
back pain, so low back pain usually occurs after the 5th month. Another reason
is the increase of hormones (relaxin) that cause relaxation in the ligaments in
the body during pregnancy. The purpose of this relaxation is to allow the baby
to pass through the birth canal comfortably. Therefore, back pain during
pregnancy is mostly normal, rarely an abnormal condition or disease can cause
low back pain, such as herniated disc.

that can be taken to reduce low back pain during pregnancy:
- Not standing for a long time and avoiding walking for a
long time.
- Not to lift too heavy loads.
- Not to stay in positions that will bother you for a long
time

Does low
back pain in pregnancy cause miscarriage?
Normal back pain does not cause miscarriage during pregnancy,
so if there is no underlying disease and pathology, low back pain does not
cause miscarriage. On the contrary, it is correct to think, patients with low
back pain may occur. Patients with miscarriage and bleeding feel low back pain,
but if these are not the case, only a patient with low back pain does not have
an increased risk of miscarriage. If there is little bleeding and spotting in
addition to low back pain, in this case, it is necessary to urgently consult a
doctor due to the danger of miscarriage.
Does low
back pain during pregnancy cause preterm labor? Does it harm the baby?
Preterm labor and contractions sometimes manifest themselves
only in the form of low back pain. Although the patient does not feel any pain
in the abdomen, he may only feel pain in his waist. For this reason, low back
pain that starts suddenly and passes after the 5th month of pregnancy may be a
sign of contraction, and a doctor's examination is necessary to clarify the
situation. If it is determined that there is no contraction (contraction) and
low back pain due to other reasons, it does not cause preterm labor.
If there is no risk of low back pain during pregnancy, it
cannot directly harm the baby.
Does low
back pain indicate the sex of the baby?

be a relationship between low back pain and the sex of the baby, this is not
essential. Having low back pain, severity, or pain has nothing to do with being
a girl or a boy.

back pain in the first months of pregnancy? Is it dangerous?

weeks and first months of pregnancy is not unusual and may be due to another
cause (herniated spasm) other than pregnancy, so examination is required. Low
back pain in the first months of pregnancy suggests that if there is no
bleeding, there is a health problem related to the mother rather than
suggesting a danger related to pregnancy.
What should
I do if low back pain is caused by herniated disc?

a neurosurgeon and physical therapist. During pregnancy, you will be given
precautions and some movement-exercise suggestions. You should never use random
pain relievers as a pain reliever and consult your doctor. Medicines and
painkillers used for herniated disc before pregnancy may not be suitable for
use during pregnancy. Herbal medicines, herbs, herbal cures, etc. it may be
inconvenient to try during pregnancy.

pain and discharge, spotting together?

discharge is very common during pregnancy and is mostly a normal condition.

low back pain, and if water is coming, it may be accompanied by watery
discharge and spotting. All this must be distinguished by a doctor's
examination, therefore, in the presence of discharge and spotting, a doctor
should be urgently consulted.
Do those
who experience low back pain during pregnancy also live after birth?
If low back pain is a normal low back pain due to pregnancy,
it will pass completely within a few weeks after birth and will not last for
life. If there is a complaint of persistent low back pain and back pain after
childbirth, it is not related to pregnancy, it is low back pain due to another
reason such as herniated disc. In order to clarify the diagnosis, a doctor's
examination is absolutely necessary. It suggests that the pain is caused by
herniated disc, especially if there are symptoms such as numbness and leg pain
in the leg. The fact that the woman has frequent low back pain during pregnancy
does not mean that she will experience it in her life after birth.
