It is common for women to experience lower back pain during pregnancy, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy when they often feel physically weak, sore back, and back pain. However, some pregnant women may also worry that these symptoms may affect the health of the fetus. So, is it normal for women to have back pain at 29 weeks of pregnancy?
1. At 29 weeks of pregnancy, women have entered the late stage of pregnancy, during which symptoms of lower back pain and soreness are more common and mostly belong to normal physiological phenomena in late pregnancy. The main reason is that at this time, the fetus is developing and growing, which can cause the uterus to expand and compress the lumbar spine, making it easy to experience discomfort such as lower back pain and soreness.
2. Women in the late stage of pregnancy need to pay extra attention. If there is a lack of calcium nutrition in the body, it can also worsen the symptoms of lower back pain and soreness. Therefore, pregnant women in this stage should pay attention to strengthening nutrition and reasonably increasing the amount of calcium rich foods, such as drinking milk and consuming dairy products in moderation, eating shrimp skin, seaweed and other foods, which will have a positive effect on calcium supplementation during pregnancy.
3. Pregnant women with lower back pain and soreness in the late stage of pregnancy should pay attention to resting more and not standing or walking too much for a long time. You can use a hot towel to apply moderate heat to the lower back area for relief. In addition, as the gestational age increases, if the back pain is particularly severe, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal sagging and tightness, hardness, etc., premature birth should be prevented and timely medical examination should be sought.
