Tips & Types of Pregnancy Pains

From the first trimester to the last, pregnancy pains, are some of the most common complaints. Maybe, while you’re developing your little one inside you, you’re feeling tired, and swollen. Or perhaps, you’re suffering from painful leg cramps and back aches.

But worry not, there is nothing wrong. This is merely a result of your evolving body, the pressure on the uterus, and those soaring hormones.

Here are some of the most common types of pregnancy pains and tips on how to deal with them.

Leg and Back Pain

The increase in body weight as well as changes in hormonal levels can lead to exhaustion & cramps. Leg cramps, back aches, and knee aches are extremely common during pregnancy.

Got 30 minutes? Take a brisk walk. Open up those muscles and nerves in some fresh air. It'll help you relax, regulate your breathing, and help distract your mind from the long wait.

Lower Abdomen Aches & Cramps

Guess what? Your baby is growing big. As a result, you'll feel lower belly pain due to the expanding uterus, the pressure on your body, and the baby's need to go pee.

Sometimes, lower belly ache can also come from Braxton-Hicks contractions. There's no reason to worry here.

Handy tip on how to deal with lower abdominal pain: go for a slow walk. Take it easy but enjoy stretching some legs. It'll help unclench the muscles of your abdomen and make you feel better immediately.

Hemorrhoids
