“…The fact that 80% of multiparous women with LBPP in the present study had a past history of LBPP in their previous pregnancy suggests that multiparous women generally have LBPP. However, the proportion of multiparous women with LBPP was not significantly different from the proportion of primiparous women with LBPP being in line with the results of previous studies (Mohseni-Bandpei et al, 2009;Mota et al, 2015). Mogren and Pohjanen (2005) reported that mean gestational age at the onset of LBPP was 22.1 weeks.…”

“…These factors were shown in previous studies to be risk factors of lumbar pain during pregnancy (Ostgaard et al, 1992;Mogren and Pohjanen, 2005;Mohseni-Bandpei et al, 2009;Bjelland et al, 2011;AlSayegh et al, 2012). It has been reported that the proportion of women with chronic lower back pain increased from 20 to 30 years of age to 50 to 60 years of age (Meucci et al, 2015), suggesting that the occurrence of lumbar pain increases with advance of age.…”

“…The proportion of working women was shown to be high in primiparous women with LBPP. Previous studies showed that occurrence of lumbar pain were not associated with working status (Olsson et al, 2009;Mohseni-Bandpei et al, 2009). To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report regarding the association of LBPP with working status according to parity.…”

“…Health guidance for prevention of lumbar pain at the early stage of pregnancy is important since lumbar pain in women with a past history of LBPP before pregnancy may become worse throughout pregnancy. Previous studies showed that the proportion of women who were working was not significantly different between women with lumbar pain and women without lumbar pain (Gutke et al, 2008;Olsson et al, 2009;Mohseni-Bandpei et al, 2009). It has been reported that women without LBPP were more likely to work than women with LBPP in the late stage of pregnancy (Kovac et al, 2012).…”

“…A previous study showed that multiparty was a risk factor for LBPP during pregnancy (Mogren and Pohjanen, 2005). Since a past history of lower back pain in the previous pregnancy has been suggested to be a risk factor for LBPP (Mogren and Pohjanen, 2005;Mohseni-Bandpei et al, 2009), the risk of LBPP in multiparous women may be higher than that in primiparous women. The fact that 80% of multiparous women with LBPP in the present study had a past history of LBPP in their previous pregnancy suggests that multiparous women generally have LBPP.…”

The aim of this study was to clarify the proportion of women with low back and/or pelvic pain (LBPP) and LBPP-related factors at the early stage of pregnancy and to clarify the differences between LBPPrelated factors in primiparous women and multiparous women in Japan. 157 pregnant women were recruited. Information about the presence of LBPP, degree of pain by using a visual analog scale (VAS), location of pain, past history of LBPP and background characteristics were collected. Physical status was assessed by the pregnancy mobility index (PMI). The Ethics Committee of Tokushima University Hospital approved the study. The proportion of women who complained of LBPP was 65.6%. PMI score in women with LBPP was significantly higher than that in women without LBPP (p<0.001). The proportions of women with a past history of LBPP before pregnancy and with a past history of LBPP in the previous pregnancy were significantly higher in women with LBPP (p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). In women with LBPP, the score of VAS in multiparous women was significantly higher than that in primiparous women (p=0.019). Early management for women with a past history of LBPP before pregnancy and with a past history of LBPP in the previous pregnancy is important. Management for lumbar pain according to parity is needed for health guidance at the early stage of pregnancy.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, the main features and the potential risk factors of LBP in pregnant women.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study included 173 pregnant women in the third trimester. Non‐inclusion criteria were severe mental disability and known previous history of musculoskeletal diseases. The participants were categorised into two groups: women with pregnancy‐related LBP and pain‐free women. Demographic, socio‐professional, clinical and obstetrical data were compared between the two groups using the appropriate statistical tests.ResultsThe mean age was 32.2 ± 5.4 years [17–45]. Among them, 108 (62.4%) reported one or more episodes of LBP during at least 7 days, mostly in the third semester (n = 71). The presence of LBP was significantly associated with history of LBP in previous pregnancies and jobs requiring prolonged standing. Active jobs and the presence of gestational complications were significantly more common in pain‐free women. In the multivariate analysis, LBP was independently predicted by the history of LBP in previous pregnancies and the absence of gestational complications.ConclusionsThe association of LBP with gestational complications as a protective factor has not yet been reported in previous studies. These complications are a common cause of hospitalisation, which represents a period of relative rest during pregnancy. Our results revealed that history of LBP in previous pregnancies, sedentary lifestyle prior to pregnancy and prolonged standing are the main risk factors of LBP. In contrast, rest and avoidance of physical overstrain during pregnancy may be protective factors.
