Normal ailments

They are pains that can also be quite intense, which can move here and there along the back, but which in any case should not cause concern.

Furthermore, in recent months, the growing belly forces the spine to make a continuous effort and to have a different structure than normal: in fact, it is natural to seek a more comfortable balance by moving the torso backwards and the pelvis forward. This position causes the continuous contraction of some muscle groups in the abdomen and back, which easily translates into a sensation of soreness or real pain in the kidneys.

The pressure of the pregnant uterus can cause sciatica, that is, very strong "stiletto-like" pains that start from the lower back, extend along the leg and sometimes reach the foot.

To make these pains go away, a little rest in a lying position is usually enough, perhaps helped by some delicate massage.

To prevent these pains you must always try to keep your back in the correct position: give preference to rigid backrests, place a cushion behind your kidneys when sitting in an armchair or in the car so that your back is well supported; avoid sofas where you 'sink'.

Regularly wear apregnancyband or a pregnancy girdle is useful because it keeps the back warmer and more supported.
