In this section we will look at specific types of back pain during pregnancy - conditions such as sciatica, lower back pain and upper back pain. We will also look at various treatment approaches (as opposed to just waiting to have your baby!) for each as well as conditioning programmes such as Pilates and Yoga. Lower back pain during pregnancy. Lower back pain is the most common area in your back to suffer during your pregnancy. The most common cause of back pain that I see is in your lower back, and is related to the changes in your lower back posture that arise from the physical presence of your bump, and the laxity caused in your pelvis due to the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy, often causing bones to move out of place in your pelvis. This can be very painful. Lower back pain can also be a sign of the onset of labour. Read more on Lower back pain during pregnancy. Sciatica during Pregnancy.
