Most Women Have Back Pain In Pregnancy

Pregnant women carrying a male foetus may be more liable to back pain towards the end of pregnancy than those with a female foetus.

This was an unexpected finding of a seven-centre study carried out by researchers in Rome, Italy, which otherwise found that more than two-thirds of women have some degree of back pain in the last eight to nine weeks of pregnancy.

 The researchers used the Italian validated version of the Roland questionnaire, a disease-specific patient-oriented questionnaire about low back pain. Until this, few studies on back pain in pregnancy had used validated patient-oriented tools.

Clinical data about both the period before all pregnancies and before the current pregnancy were acquired from 76 women. Nearly two thirds (n=47, 61.8 percent) of the women had had at least one previous pregnancy.
