What causes back pain in pregnancy?
As far as the cause or "why" someone might get pain while pregnancy, every woman's circumstances are different. Keep in mind that your body is undergoing many types of changes and stresses while pregnancy. You are gaining weight and the weight is pushing and pulling on your body in new ways, especially throughout your spine, pelvis and rib cage. This area is sometimes referred to as the "core" of your body.
Your core is the traditional weight-bearing town of your body and also that which is most foremost for movement. And as your core movement changes while pregnancy, muscles can become stressed and overworked. Also your legs tend to be farther apart to help you carry the weight of you baby, so your town of gravity is different and your walking is different - creating more stress on your body. The new weight that you are carrying can also compress the vertebrae in your spine. Some women will touch these assorted stresses as pain or discomfort. All in all, your body has some good reasons to feel "cranky" and give you some pain. So the inquire becomes, what do to find some relief?

Pay attentiveness to how you move. Have you adjusted to your new body dynamics and weight? Do you have a stool or pillow to put under your feet to take the pressure off your lower back? Have your lowered your office chair to a more comfortable height? Are you sitting down whenever you need to? In other words, slow down, pay attentiveness to how you are moving, and make adjustments. This is a difficult one, because we rarely pay attentiveness to how we move. But you can learn to do it. Next time you make a movement, take a moment before you do and think it straight through in your mind. Visualize. Can you move in an easier pain free way?

If you do get highly bad back pain that lasts for more than a few days see your doctor or other health care provider.
