It is a common misconception that back pain is an inevitable price for motherhood, but it is actually a manageable health issue rather than a lifelong sentence. In Nigeria, many moms suffer in silence because of heavy lifting, poor posture while breastfeeding, or lack of core engagement after delivery, rather than the birthing process itself. While traditional practices like the use of belly wraps or herbal massages can provide temporary soothing, long-term relief almost always requires strengthening the core muscles that were weakened during pregnancy. I recommend seeing a physiotherapist if the pain persists, as they can provide targeted exercises to correct your posture and realign your spine. Please do not just endure the pain, because addressing these musculoskeletal imbalances early is the best way to ensure you can carry your baby and manage your daily activities without discomfort.
