A member asked:

I am 32 weeks pregnant, i have had severe back pain and lower pelvic pressure my amniotic fluid is at 7 is this a reason to be on bedrest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy: Discuss with your obstetrician the best and correct options for daily activity levels. The back pain is due to relaxation of the pelvic ligaments in preparation for pregnancy. Ask your doctor to explain why bed rest is necessary for your pregnancy.
