Summary

This study follows 211 pregnant women to find out why some develop lasting back or pelvic pain during pregnancy and after childbirth. Researchers will measure body awareness, fear of movement, stress, and inflammation through questionnaires, balance tests, and blood samples. The goal is to identify early warning signs so that future treatments can be more targeted and effective.
