The Bowen Technique is an extremely gentle and effective method of treating back pain during pregnancy. Changes in posture experienced during pregnancy put added strain on the muscles supporting the spine. Tension in these muscles leads to stiffness and pain in the back, and can also cause compression of the nerves exiting the spine. This will affect your nervous system.

The positioning of the patient is extremely important. The sciatic nerve exits the sacrum and runs below the piriformis muscle. The Bowen move needs to be carried out at the edge of the sacrum and over the piriformis muscle. This point is the most common point of nerve compression or entrapment. By relaxing the piriformis muscle, the nerve is free from compression.

Pelvic Tilt Exercises: Pelvic tilts help to strengthen and support the low back and abdominal muscles. They can help to stabilize the spine, and are particularly helpful for lumbar back pain. To perform pelvic tilts, get down on your hands and knees. Keep your arms straight, and shoulder width apart. Keep your legs hip width apart. Tighten your abdominal muscles, pulling them upwards toward your spine while tucking your buttocks under and rounding your back, like a cat. Breathe, and then relax your back. Repeat.

Infection: This can be caused by a wound, but that's not the only way an infection could develop on your fingers. Nail biting has been known to cause serious infections and could get bad enough to require amputation. You'll probably receive antibiotics from the doctor, and anti-inflammatory medications or herbs may be useful. Willow is a good choice, but can't be used by children under eighteen. Garlic supplements and drawing agents like baking soda could be beneficial as well.

When expectant moms start to experience symptoms like numbness, tingling and pain particularly on the hand, fingers, wrists and arms, it may indicate CTS. Fluid retention during pregnancy is said to contribute to the pressure on the median nerve caused by the swelling tissue surrounding it. Most pregnant women have a healthy appetite for high sodium foods that exacerbates water retention. During the exacerbation of fluid retention, the surrounding tissue of the median nerve gets filled with fluid.

The mother during pregnancy week 22 would see her uterus nearing the belly button, being just a couple of cms. away. The belly button itself may 'pop out' and start protruding at this point, though it is a reversible process and will return to normal after delivery. The centre of gravity would have shifted, ever so slightly and stretch marks may start developing around the abdomen.

Your first step is to determine what type of headache you have. Knowing the type of headache is important if you want to give yourself the best chance for relief. The most commonly appearing headaches in pregnant women are tension, migraine, and hormonal. Hormonal headaches, also known as menstrual migraines, are migraine headaches with hormone imbalances as their cause. So in actuality, the two most common types of headaches during pregnancy are tension-type and migraine, as hormonal headaches can be grouped into the migraine category.
