I am 24 weeks pregnet with my 4th child Yesterday morning i woke up with Lower  back pain I stayed off my feet to see if that would help Last night I could not get any sleep becuase no matter which way I laid the pain would not go away i stil have the pain this morning I thought that it was just the baby growing is it something I should worry about?
HI, I have read your query & understand your concern. Pregnancy hormones cause loosening of pelvic ligaments. As a result the pelvis is stretched due to growth of fetus . This leads to pain in back in pregnancy.  Also, as the baby grows, the abdominal weight increases. So there is much more load in front of body. Making imbalance due to shifting of line of gravity. The back muscles stretch the line of gravity back to normal by contracting & pulling the body back. This creates lot of stress to back muscles & so the pain.  * this can be managed by doing pregnancy yoga exercises to strengthen the back muscles.  * back pain also follows calcium & vitamin D deficiency. Replacement of these controls the pain.  - sometimes vaginal/ pelvic infection or inflammation can cause the backache. This needs a gynecologist advise / investigation & specific treatment.  ** you should consult your gynecologist for proper guidance after checking you up.  Thanks.
