A nurse is providing education to a pregnant client about the symptoms associated with musculoskeletal changes.
Which symptom is commonly experienced due to increased muscle strain during pregnancy?
leg cramps are not caused by muscle strain, but by other factors such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or compression of blood vessels.
Back pain is a common symptom experienced due to increased muscle strain during pregnancy. As the uterus grows and the center of gravity shifts, there is more pressure on the lower back muscles and ligaments. This can cause pain, difficulty with balance, and reduced activity.
Pelvic pain is not a typical symptom of musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy. Pelvic pain can be caused by other conditions such as urinary tract infection, preterm labor, or pelvic girdle pain.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is not a result of muscle strain, but of fluid retention and swelling that compresses the median nerve in the wrist. This can cause numbness, tingling, or pain in the hand and fingers.
