Back Pain
• As the belly keeps expanding forwards, it creates a slight
gap in your lower back, thereby adding pressure and pain.
• You may be used to this by now, otherwise cold packs or
warm compression may help find relief.

Varicose veins
• The expanding uterus compresses the inferior vena cava,
which is the vein responsible for carrying back blood to
the heart and this pressure may cause blood to pool in the
veins, resulting in varicose veins.
• These appear swollen and may be very uncomfortable.

Pelvic Pressure
• The baby moves down lower into your pelvis around this
time, to be ready for delivery. This may cause
discomforting pressure in your pelvic region and hips.
• This finally takes off pressure from your lungs and you
will find relief from breathlessness and heartburn.

Energy bursts
• You may be tired all the time, but you will find yourself
with sudden energy bursts around this time, as your
mind goes into nesting mode.
• You may use this energy to make all the necessary
preparations and getting your work done. Ensure not to
overdo it and take enough rest.
