Introduction
Back pain affects nearly 70% of pregnant women in India. As your centre of gravity shifts and your ligaments loosen, your spine takes on extra stress — especially at night. A well-designed pregnancy pillow can be the difference between waking up refreshed or waking up in pain.
Why Do Pregnant Women Get Back Pain?
During pregnancy, the hormone relaxin loosens your joints and ligaments in preparation for childbirth. This, combined with the added weight of your growing baby, puts significant strain on your lower back, hips, and pelvis.
How a Pregnancy Pillow Helps Back Pain
A full-body pregnancy pillow works by:
- Aligning your spine in a neutral position
- Reducing pressure on your hips and pelvis
- Preventing you from rolling onto your back during sleep
- Supporting your belly so your back muscles can relax
