One of my friend who is in her third trimester downplayed my excitement about her. Expecting a baby is one of the most wonderful time in a persons life. Even you can call it as a miracle of life.

To look at her I sort of had to agree. What had happened to that "glow" pregnant women are supposed to have? It had been replaced by a puffy nose and dark circles under her eyes.

She told me that she started having chronic pain from the start of her third trimester. This do not occur only on daylight hours. Her neck pain got worse as had a big trouble while sleeping.

The combination of neck pain and back pain is complained by 80% of the pregnant women. Most of the pregnant women always report about neck pain.

First thing is during pregnancy there will be sudden increase of weight and typically the weight will be more in uterus. So it alters the woman's balance in the body. And the body tries to adjust in size and weight almost on a daily basis. Back pain and neck pain during pregnancy do have some reasons.

The weight gain can cause both the neck and back pain. This does not bring relief even though the pregnant women gains weight all over the body. Mostly, neck and back pain is very much reported in both men and women who are obese.

Another reason for pain during pregnancy is due to hormones which can affect ligaments and joints, causing them to become more loose and pliable.

While a great concept in relaxing the pelvis to allow for childbirth. Due to this "relaxing" effect, the joints and ligaments in the back and especially neck are compromised as far as support is concerned.

Best solutions are the pillows specially designed for cervical that can heal neck and back pain. Alternatively one can apply ice pack on the affected area and can try some neck exercises.

A client of mine who has two children told me that she experienced severe neck pain during her pregnancy.

Only after the delivery of the baby and complete recovery she noticed the improvement in the neck pain. For her the pillows and ice packs provided little comfort during her pregnancy.

I was very happy to know that my neck exercises have been a great help to her. Her physician asked her to try some neck exercises early, that means start the exercise before the pain starts.

The programs is very natural and comes with proven results and with zero side effects. My neck exercises are highly recommended regardless the cause of the pain.
