Causes of Physical Pain During Pregnancy
Postural Changes
As your baby grows, your body adjusts to accommodate the extra weight, leading to changes in your posture. This shift can strain your spine, muscles, and joints, causing pain and discomfort.
Hormonal Changes
During pregnancy, your body produces hormones such as relaxin, which relaxes the ligaments in your pelvis. While this is important for childbirth, it can also contribute to joint instability and pain.
Weight Gain
The natural weight gain during pregnancy can put additional stress on your spine and joints, leading to back pain, hip pain, and more.
Shifted Center of Gravity
As your belly grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, which can alter your posture and put strain on your lower back and pelvis.
Muscle Imbalances
The changes in your body’s structure can lead to muscle imbalances, with some muscles becoming tight and others becoming weak. This imbalance can cause pain and discomfort.
