Understanding Your Condition

- Hormonal changes (relaxin) loosening ligaments and joints.
- Postural changes as the growing abdomen shifts the center of gravity.
- Pelvic changes widening to accommodate childbirth.
- Abdominal muscle stretching, weakening the core.
- Low back pain from weight gain and posture changes.
- Pelvic girdle pain from joint laxity.
- Sciatica from pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Round ligament pain in the lower abdomen or groin.
- Leg cramps, often at night.
