Methodology: A cross-sectional study utilizing quantitative methods assessed how lower back pain impacts the daily lives of 120 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics, using convenience sampling. Objectives included evaluating pain severity, examining daily activities, and correlating findings with demographic variables. Inclusion criteria comprised pregnant women aged 18 and above, experiencing lower back pain, and attending antenatal clinics. Exclusions involved prior spinal surgery, chronic back pain unrelated to pregnancy, cognitive impairments, and musculoskeletal disorders affecting pain assessment. Data collection utilized a demographic profile and the reliable Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire.

Research: The study assessed lower back pain severity and its impact on daily activities among pregnant women. Findings showed varying degrees of pain, with 1.67% reporting no pain, while 10% experienced mild, and another 10% reported moderate pain. Majority reported significant discomfort, with 43.33% and 35% reporting severe and very severe pain, respectively. On average, participants had a mean pain score of 5.73, with a standard deviation of 1.58. Additionally, 80% experienced pregnancy-related pain, with durations varying, and back pain onset typically occurring within 1-6 months of pregnancy. Back pain significantly affected daily activities, with varying degrees of disability reported. Associations between pain severity and demographic variables were not significant.

Conclusion: The study highlighted varying lower back pain severity and its impact on pregnant women's daily activities, with significant discomfort reported.
