Being pregnant, your ligaments become more pliable and therefore you maybe a bit more vulnerable to injury so avoid heavy lifting. If you are carrying or lifting anything keep it/them close to your body and your knees bent. Try to equalise the weight that you are carrying, ie; perhaps a carrier bag in each hand to share the load. Take extra care when lifting toddlers or the like or if you can let them get into the car seat without you lifting them. Whatever you are doing engage a good posture. You may be walking, standing or sitting just keep pulling your stomach muscles in, use the pelvic tilt, its good practice and give you good core work. If there is a weight issue this will also affect your lower back. We have mentioned the practice of yoga. Consider also Thai Massage (often called yoga massage). Or perhaps just having a massage will help you. It is always a good idea to invest in some form of exercise programme, especially for back pain and general wellbeing. Yoga will challenge you and the alignment of your body; you will become educated as you put yoga to work for you. Practicing yoga will help you counter your daily living. For example with our western ways we sit for many hours at a time and coupled with this we are facing front. So we get no natural movement facing backward. Sounds strange? Ok, you're sat down or standing now just turn your head right or left slowly, then to the other side. How did it feel? Were the turns even or was one side tighter than the other? Mmmm. As an educated guess I would say that one side somewhere was tighter. Our bodies are good at compensating. With the practice of yoga your joints, bones will help towards a good fit, at the same time developing pliable, strong muscles around the comprised joint. When in the poses you will begin to work the muscles that are very close to the joints, this in turn will help you with your posture and give you increased ability to move your body. The strength and flexibility that all your muscles will have to a great extent help your back pain go away. People are quite surprised that their back pain is related to the condition of their muscles in the back. Glen Wood - The Yoga Teacher.
