What can I do about low back pain during pregnancy? Deliver. Women experience back pain during pregnancy due to a developing baby in their pelvis causing extra pressure and stress on bones and muscles. Another reason why low back pain is common in pregnancy is due to a hormone called Relaxin which causes the loosening of ligaments and tendons allowing the pelvis to adjust to the growing baby and allowing the pubic bone and cervix to widen for labor and delivery. There are many things you can do to manage low back pain during pregnancy, for instance: yoga, stretch, swimming, as well as see your chiropractor, acupuncturist or massage therapist.
