This weight can put a lot of pressure on the mother’s feet, and the protruding belly can cause postural misalignment and tilting of the pelvis as it prepares for baby’s birth. As the spine shifts forward due to the weight it can cause acute or chronic lower back pain, muscle strains, shoulder stiffness and neck soreness.
