Having back pain after delivery is a very very common problem. Most of the women come to us with this problem. Now it is primarily because of a very faulty breast feeding position. Many at times you do to take adequate amount of support at the back. The position of breast feeding can be faulty. So your back is in an unnecessarily stretched situation. So you can get backache. Second common reason is contracting or involuting uterus. So after delivery everybody knows that the uterus will shrink in size, it will become smaller in size. While this is happening this will give rise to some kind of a lower back ache. The third common thing in our country and it is something that every pregnant women or delivering mother should be aware of , is severe lack of calcium and lack of vitamin. When you are by breast feeding you are loosing a lot of calcium through breast milk and it will go to the baby. So your calcium levels are going to go down and this is one of the reason that because of it you may have a chronic type of low backache. Last and most important is that back exercises post delivery are absolutely crucial. If your back muscles are strengthened and strong, then believe me you will not have back pain, which is a very common problem after the delivery takes place.
