What is the relationship between pregnancy and back pain?
Pregnancy can be tough on a woman’s back. Back pain during pregnancy typically occurs in the area of a woman’s back where the pelvis meets the spine, also known as the sacroiliac joint.

To treat back pain related to pregnancy, it’s recommended that women maintain regular exercise, apply heat and cold to the region, and improve posture.
