It's very common to experience back pain during pregnancy. Like one in two pregnant women, your pregnancy may be accompanied by lower back and pelvic pain⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾.
Most lower back pain is muscular or ligamentous in origin. Damage to the intervertebral discs or vertebrae can sometimes be the cause. Finally, some lower back pains are digestive, gynaecological or skin-related.
