Few will make it through pregnancy without some aches and pains. If you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, this information can help you prevent, and hopefully find some relief from, low back pain and pelvic girdle pain.
As pregnancy progresses, the weight on the ligaments in the pelvic floor can become inflamed causing pelvic pain, bowel or bladder symptoms, or even painful intercourse! These symptoms can continue throughout and after pregnancy.
