Haslinda W.. · Working mom · 24 weeks pregnant
Bought a maternity belt from Shopee. It really helps when walking around the office, but I remove it during lunch because of the heat.
Professional Therapy30% moms chose this path
Seeing a physiotherapist or certified prenatal masseuse to release tight pelvic muscles.
Suits Moms experiencing sharp, shooting pains that make walking or turning in bed difficult. A few sessions usually loosen the knots, though you must ensure the therapist is certified for pregnancy.

Geetha T.. · First-time mom · 26 weeks pregnant
My pelvic pain was so bad I could barely walk. Three sessions with a women's health physio in PJ finally made sleeping bearable again.
Prenatal Yoga20% moms chose this path
Doing targeted stretches to strengthen the core and improve your pelvic alignment.
Suits Moms who prefer an active approach and have time for regular exercise routines. You might find it tiring initially, but consistent stretching gradually reduces lower back stiffness.

Followed some prenatal yoga videos on YouTube every morning. It takes discipline, but my back aches are much less severe compared to my first pregnancy.

Expert guidance

Pregnancy shifts your centre of gravity and strains ligaments, often causing lower back and pelvic pain. Gleneagles and Pantai Hospitals recommend prenatal yoga to alleviate back pain, while physiotherapy and maternity belts offer targeted relief. What matters most is staying active safely and seeking professional help if the pain disrupts your daily movement.
