Prenatal Musculoskeletal Injuries

Common Postnatal Musculoskeletal Discomfort & Injuries

These can include:

• Lower Back Pain: As your baby grows, the added weight and shift in your center of gravity can strain the lower back.
• Pelvic Girdle Pain: Hormonal changes can loosen the ligaments in your pelvis, causing pain and instability.
• Sciatica: The expanding uterus may press on the sciatic nerve, leading to pain that radiates down the leg.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Fluid retention can increase pressure on the median nerve in your wrist, causing pain and numbness.
