Poor posture, weight gain during pregnancy, excessive physical activity, indigestion, etc are some of the causes for back pain during pregnancy. Even though back pain during pregnancy is common but it is necessary to rule out anything abnormal. Hence it is necessary that you consult your gynecologist as early as possible. Till you meet your doctor, following tips may help you: avoid standing or sitting in same posture for long time, do not wear high heel foot ware, avoid bending forward or slouching, while getting up from bed roll on your side and then get up, do gentle exercises and ask for gentle massage over the affected area.
