Pregnancy and Back Pain
Here’s a fact: Pregnancy often time leads to lumbar/sacroiliac pain, or “lower back/tailbone pain.” But why? Is it because of the increased curvature produced in the lower back because of the growing fetus in the womb? Is it because the ligaments lining the “tailbone” become loose in preparation for childbirth? Or could it be due to the decreased core strength related to the stretched out abdominal musculature?
