Body Changes
Aches, pains, and backaches
As your uterus expands pains in the back, abdomen, groin area, and thighs often appear. Many women also have backaches and aching near the pelvic bone due the pressure of the baby’s head, increased weight, and loosening joints.
To ease some of these aches and pains try:
* Lying down
* Resting
* Applying heat
If you are worried or the pains do not get better, call your doctor.
