The back pain symptoms of postpartum mothers PTP

Your mother&#8217;s postpartum back pain often starts from pregnancy. When pregnancy reaches about 4-5 months, the size of the pregnancy begins to expand significantly, and the pregnancy weight also increases. The body of the expectant mother starts to change. The joints of the bones and joints in various parts of the body become loose and relaxed. The pelvis that is connected loosens, making the pelvis of the expectant mother loose. The larger the pregnancy size, the more weight the expectant mother has to bear. It can be observed that pregnant women often stand or walk with an arched back to balance the body to support the weight of the pregnancy size. When the mother has to arch her back for a long time, it causes back pain.

<h2>Why does back pain still occur after giving birth?</h2>
It must be accepted that after giving birth, the baby still leaves a lot of weight on the mother’s body. Therefore, it is the mother’s responsibility to try to lose weight, including excess abdominal fat, to avoid carrying extra body weight. During this time, the mother may still experience some back pain, but it is not as severe as during pregnancy.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Another factor causing back pain in mothers is “carrying the baby.” If it is a newborn baby with light weight, normal carrying or even carrying for breastfeeding is not a major cause of back pain. However, whenever your baby’s weight increases by more than 10-20 kilograms but still cries and wants to be carried frequently, it may affect back pain, similar to the behavior of lifting heavy objects that cause back pain.

&nbsp;
After giving birth, the mother should focus on restoring the body structure during the first 2-3 months in the case of natural delivery. For mothers who have had a cesarean section, recovery may take longer. Mothers should exercise according to the advice of doctors or physical therapists to build strength and flexibility in the muscles, and change behaviors that may cause chronic back pain. For example, when sitting, sit with a straight back, try to sit with hips and shoulders close to the backrest, and use a small pillow to support the lower back and neck. When sleeping, lie on your side and place a pillow between your legs. If self-care as recommended does not relieve back pain and the pain persists for more than 2 months, consult a doctor or physical therapist.

Your mother's postpartum back pain often starts from pregnancy. When the pregnancy reaches around 4-5 months, the size of the pregnancy begins to increase significantly.
