What causes back pain during pregnancy?

Lower back pain is an ailment that most pregnant women suffer from. This pain can be caused by:

• The progressive increase in weight of the pregnant woman and the abdomen itself.
• The change in the center of gravity.
• The weakening of the abdominal muscles due to stretching.
• Hormones.

In addition, we cannot forget to mention sciatica, also very common in pregnancy, since the change in the curvature of the back and the increase in the size of the uterus can lead to compression of this nerve.
