Risk Factors For Pregnancy Related Low Back Pain

Abstract

Objective: The mean incidence of back pain in pregnant women very often as compared to non-pregnant women of the same ages. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of low back pain during pregnancy in newly delivered mothers who had no predisposing factors for low back pain.

Methods: 83 newly delivered women were included fort he study who are having a normal pregnancy, no history of back/low back/hip pain requiring hospital admission or medication, no history of hospital admission during pregnancy except for the last delivery, being a housewife, and delivering a single baby at term.A questionnaire including demographic and clinical characteristics were applied to participants.

Results: 51.8% of all mothers declared experiencing pain in at least one of the anatomical regions including back, low back, hip, and posterior pelvic area during the last pregnancy. No significant difference  was determined between pain an no pain group in term of age, pre-pregnancy and prenatal body weights/body mass index, weight gain during pregnancy, number of pregnancy, age of marriage/first live birth, delivery mode.  Neonatal height was significantly greater in the mothers with pain compared to the mothers with no pain, although no significant difference was found with regard to neonatal weight and gender. A very significant relationship was found between the presence of pain during a previous pregnancy and during the last pregnancy

Conclusions: Pregnancy-related low back pain is a common health problem among pregnant women, even in women with no history of predisposing factors for low back pain.
