Backaches

Ooh, why does my back ache so much

Your body is making adjustments for the recent entrant. The joints in your pelvis are beginning to loosen up to allow for a smooth delivery. Along with your huge stomach, your body is bound to be slightly off-balance and result in strained back muscles and pain. A correct posture and sensible weight gain can go a long way in minimizing this pain. A general rule is to avoid high heels.

(Bend at the knees, i.e. getting support from your thighs and legs, without straining your back).
