Help pregnant mothers reduce back pain during labor

Help pregnant mothers reduce back pain during labor

Labor is always the most painful period during pregnancy and childbirth. In particular, pain during labor usually appears in the back, between uterine contractions. The back is the most affected area during labor. 

Why pregnant mothers have back pain during labor?

The back pain you experience in labor is the pressure from your baby's head to the lower back, but many other factors contribute to this pain as well. An interesting but not scientifically proven cause is that this pain is passed from the mother's womb. This opinion can be evidenced by the lower back pain that some women experience during their menstrual cycle, which means that your back pain in labor is not caused by the baby. . One study also found that women who experience back pain during menstruation also often experience back pain during labor. 

Is labor back pain related to the baby's position in the womb?

Back pain during labor is thought to be more common when the baby is born on his back with his head resting on your spine. However, some studies have denied this information. Specifically, a 2005 study of 700 laboring women found that mothers with their babies lying on their backs suffered back pain no different from mothers whose babies were lying down. However, this study is not highly reliable because 90% of the women in the study at birth again chose the method of epidural anesthesia. 

 

What to do to reduce back pain during labor?

To ease back pain during labor, you should:

Ask your trainer to do exercises on your lower backrest. You can massage the area or use your hands or knuckles to apply pressure directly;
