Have Your Low Back, Legs, and Feet Been Killing You Since You Got Pregnant?  

There aren't many experiences in life that are more special than being pregnant and carrying your soon-to-be born child. The love you have for someone you haven't even met yet is an amazing part of being a woman. 

Despite the special time and the joy that you're experiencing right now, it's hard to ignore the complicated and painful parts of the 9 special months where your child is growing inside of you. Just about the time that you've gotten past all of the morning sickness is right around the time that most soon-to-be moms start to experience pain in their low backs, legs and feet. 

While some women think that this is just something that you have to power through, it doesn't have to be that way if you get a firm hold on what is actually at the root of all of that pain. 

You can drastically reduce the pain and symptoms in your low back, legs, and feet without the use of medication once you focus on the core causes that happen during every pregnancy.  

So... what are some of the most common causes of Low Back, Leg, and Feet Pain in Pregnant Women (that can be treated without medication)? (keep reading)

What are the Core Causes of Most Low Back, Leg, and Foot Pain in Pregnant Women?

Low Back, Leg, and Foot pain in Pregnant women are most often caused by your bodies response to the hormones that are released exclusively during pregnancy. As your body gets ready to make it possible to carry and ultimately deliver your baby, several powerful changes start to occur in your body.

  • Your Center of Gravity Changes - As your baby gets bigger your weight shifts forward and your core muscles have to compensate to keep you upright.
  • Ligaments Start to Losen in Your Pelvis - Hormones are releases which cause the ligaments in your pelvis to loosen to get ready for delivery. As this happens your core muscles also have to compensate for this chance.
  • Your Hips Come out of Position More Often - Due to changes in how you sleep and how you walk (due to changes in your center of gravity), your hips can more easily lock up. This can cause further pain and discomfort if they stay out of place too long.
  • Your Sciatic Nerve Becomes Irritated - As things become more crowded and your body is compensating, the nerves that lead to your legs can get slightly "pinched". This leads to pain in your lower back, legs, and feet.
  • Muscles Become Overly Fatigued as they Compensate and help Keep You Upright. - All of the above leads to muscles all over your body having to pick up the slack and do things that they aren't used to doing in order to keep you up right and moving. This process works fine until those muscles become overly fatigued. When this happens, you'll start to feel those muscles sending you warning signs (pain). This is a common result of not taking care of all of the above issues.


So if the all of the above Symptoms are caused by the natural process of your body getting ready to have a baby, How do you Fix the Underlying Problem and Get out of Pain without medication? (see below
