The main cause is the lack of calcium caused by pregnancy, or due to the elevation of the diaphragm, resulting in chest expansion. < / p > < p > stomachache: after pregnancy, the muscle peristalsis of the digestive tract slows down, and the digestive system slows down, resulting in stomach fullness and discomfort; some pregnant women are annoyed by the constant return of acid water and heartburn, which leads to insomnia. < / p > < p > low back pain: with the extension of the time of pregnancy, the weight of pregnant women is also increasing.
