Neck Pain During 2Nd Trimester

I am an Exercise Physiologist specializing in prenatal / postpartum fitness. The symptom you are describing is very common. As the pregnancy puts strain on different parts of the body, postural changes develop. The muscles of the chest tighten and the muscles of the upper back and neck become overstretched, causing the pain you are describing. To alleviate the issue, rry to sit and stand up straight as much as possible, pulling the belly-button in and keeping the chin up. Do strengthening exercises for the upper back (rear delts and lats) and stretch the chest and anterior delts. The best stretch for this is to stand in a small doorway with arms in the door jam, 90 degrees from shoulder so the forearms are pushing on the doorjam. Push gently into the stretch, keeping knees bent, chin up, and shoulders down. You should feel the stretch near the shouler joint.
We offer a class that teaches how to prevent and fix the postural and abdominal damage that pregnancy causes, called Tummy-Time for Mommy. Check us out at www.bigbellyfitness.com. Let me know if you have any questions.

My guess is pinched nerve. Try a chiropractor or massage.

I would see a chiropractor that is used to working with pregnant women, and/or see a licensed pregnancy massage therapist. (there is one spa in particular I know a few women there have a pg massage license)

Sorry I have not had this problem while pregnant, but I do get pains like this.
It is probly a pinched nerve or your spine is off a little.
The only relief I get is from going to my chiropractor & having him pop my neck. Yes, they can & do, do this for pregnant women. You don't have to lie down, but if you do need to lie down it will be on your back & for a few seconds. Find out what your insurance will pay for then look doctor who treats pregnant women (maybe even find someone with the better business bureau).

God bless!

ok so being pregnant takes your whole body out of line ( think of the change in center of gravity) so most likely you are having a symptom of that. see a great chiro and make sure you are in line! and that will also ensure baby isnt breech as well! ( unless their is a cord issue which a chiro cant help)
