Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare and analyse prevalence of low back pain during pregnancy. We looked into the risk factors, impact on everyday life and estimate the severity of the problem in major maternity and childhood centers in Jordan. Design: This is a cross-sectional study that was performed on pregnant women attending prenatal care and various maternity and childhood centers. They have been asked to fill a structured and authored questioner about lower back pain. Results: The study was conducted on 408 pregnant women. These women attended the three largest maternity and childhood centers in Jordan. 310 pregnant women had lower back pain (76%) and 98 pregnant women (24%) (P<0.01) had no pain. Higher age, post term date, high BMI and long working hours are statistically significant criteria for the back pain symptoms in pregnant women. Conclusions: The results show that lower back pain during pregnancy is a common problem in this population. Low back pain causes sleep disturbances and mood swings in pregnant women.
