Pain in the lower back, the lumbar area, is common among pregnant women. Most commonly, this discomfort appears in the third trimester of pregnancy.
In addition, the pain may be more intense at the end of the day or if the woman has been standing for a long time. However, if the pregnant woman has slept in a bad posture, she may already wake up with low back pain.
Finally, it is important to mention that back pain is more frequent during pregnancy if the woman had already suffered from this ailment before becoming pregnant.
