Why do you have lower back pain in the morning during early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the influence of hormones, joint ligaments become looser, the uterus expands, compressing pelvic tissues and nerves. As the abdomen grows, the body's center of gravity shifts backward. To maintain balance, pregnant women tend to protrude their abdomen forward, leading to lower back pain. To alleviate these symptoms, it's important to get adequate rest, engage in prenatal exercises, and wear low-heeled shoes.
