Your Pregnancy journey
As the stomach grows the pressure on the back increases and this can lead to back ache. Good posture is imperative to preventing back ache. Mom should ensure that she sits erect, pushes her chest out and throws her shoulders back a little. To facilitate this she can use a small pillow or a wedge pillow while sitting. The same wedge pillow can then be used to support her while sleeping. The same concepts of good posture should be applied while standing and walking. Mom should avoid slouching.
