What it can feel like
As pregnancy progresses, many people notice lower back and pelvic pain, especially when standing up, rolling over in bed or after a long walk.
Common causes
Changes in posture as the bump grows
Hormones that loosen the ligaments around the pelvis
Extra load on the lower back
How we help
Our clinicians use supported positions and low-force techniques designed for pregnancy, plus advice on sleeping, sitting and lifting. We work alongside your midwife or obstetrician.
When to seek urgent care
Most back and neck pain is not dangerous. Please seek urgent medical care, and do not wait for an appointment, if your pain follows a serious fall or accident, or comes with fever, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin, sudden weakness in a leg or arm, chest pain or difficulty breathing.
