Hello, many women experience different symptoms during pregnancy. These variations depend on both the gestational age and individual physical constitution. Some women may develop lower back pain after becoming pregnant—primarily due to increased abdominal load placing greater strain on the lumbar region. Gentle massage may help alleviate this discomfort. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
