Pregnancy and childbirth take an enormous toll on your body. As your baby grows, your posture changes which can lead to hip pain, low back pain and sciatica. Pain can also develop during the delivery process or following a c-section. Many women assume once they deliver the baby, the pain will go away however often it does not. Pain is not normal and can be treated effectively with physical therapy.
