Is Pregnancy and Neck Pain Related?

One of my friends who is in her third trimester downplayed my excitement about her. Expecting a baby is one of the most wonderful time in a persons life. Even you can call it a miracle of life.

To look at her, I sort of had to agree. What had happened to that "glow" pregnant women are supposed to have? It had been replaced by a puffy nose and dark circles under her eyes.

She explained that as soon as she hit her third trimester, she started having chronic pain. This was not just a problem during daylight hours. She also found that she had trouble sleeping, which actually seemed to make the neck pain worse.

Neck pain is one of the most reported discomforts of pregnant women. In fact, over eighty percent of pregnant women have complained of neck pain, back pain or a combination of both.

First thing is during pregnancy there will be sudden increase of weight and typically the weight will be more in the uterus. So it alters the woman's balance in the body. And the body tries to adjust in size and weight almost on a daily basis.

Even if a woman gains weight all over the body, and the weight gain itself can cause neck and back pain. In fact, neck and back pain is commonly reported as a concern for obese men and women.

During pregnancy the hormones can affect the joints and ligaments and this can also cause pain.

Typical remedies include specifically designed cervical pillows in order to align the spine, applying ice to the affected area and head and neck exercises. In fact, a client of mine has stated that for each of her two previous pregnancies, she experienced excruciating neck pain.

Only after the delivery of the baby and complete recovery she noticed the improvement in the neck pain. For her the pillows and ice packs provided little comfort during her pregnancy. Her doctor suggested she look into specific exercises for the neck and to take a preventative approach, meaning, start the exercises before the pain started. I'm happy to report that she is delighted with my Neck Pain program!
