Most times, the surplus weight of pregnancy.
Some women have pre-existing back problems that get aggravated during pregnancy. Your posture actually changes as the weight of the heavy uterus grows which can put a strain on your back. If you do a lot of lifting, this will intensify ligament strain in your pelvic floor and in your back. Maternity belts are often helpful for this and sometimes covered by your insurance.
