Growing a baby can be a wonderful experience – but it can also be a real pain, especially if you’re one of the many women who experience backache in pregnancy.
A common complaint is pain in the lower back (also known as the lumbar region), which research suggests affects around half to three-quarters of pregnant women. Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) can be another source of backache during pregnancy, affecting around 45% of women.
