What a truly wonderful and exciting time – being an expectant mother. The miracle of lifeblah, blah blah. I should have put that into quotes. A friend in her third trimester sort of downplayed my excitement about her impending miracle of life recently.
To look at her I sort of had to agree. What had happened to that “glow” pregnant women are supposed to have? It had been replaced by a puffy nose and dark circles under her eyes.
Her neck pain got worse as had a big trouble while sleeping. She told me that she started having chronic pain from the start of her third trimester. This do not occur only on daylight hours.
Neck pain is one of the most reported discomforts of pregnant women. In fact, over eighty percent of pregnant women have complained of neck pain, back pain or a combination of both.
Back pain and neck pain during pregnancy do have some reasons. First thing is during pregnancy there will be sudden increase of weight and typically the weight will be more in uterus. So it alters the woman’s balance in the body. And the body tries to adjust in size and weight almost on a daily basis.
Mostly, neck and back pain is very much reported in both men and women who are obese. The weight gain can cause both the neck and back pain. This does not bring relief even though the pregnant women gains weight all over the body.
During pregnancy the hormones can affect the joints and ligaments and this can also cause pain.
While a great concept in relaxing the pelvis to allow for childbirth. Due to this “relaxing” effect, the joints and ligaments in the back and especially neck are compromised as far as support is concerned.
Alternatively one can apply ice pack on the affected area and can try some neck exercises. Best solutions are the pillows specially designed for cervical that can heal neck and back pain.
A client of mine who has two children told me that she experienced severe neck pain during her pregnancy.
She had tried neck pillows and ice treatments during her pregnancy but with limited success. It wasn’t until she had completely recovered from her pregnancy that she noticed improvement.
Her doctor suggested she look into specific exercises for the neck and to take a preventative approach, meaning, start the exercises before the pain started. I’m happy to report that she is delighted with my Neck Pain program!
I highly encourage you to try my Neck Pain program, regardless of your reason for neck pain. The program is all natural and the results are guaranteed!
