The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of a woman’s lifestyle on lumbopelvic pain (LPP) during pregnancy. The subjects were 79 pregnant women (age [mean±SD], 32.7±4.6 years) and 31 women with prior experience of delivery (age, 33.7±4.3 years). They completed a retrospective, closedended questionnaire comprising 36 items related to LPP and lifestyle before and after pregnancy. The findings showed that LPP was prevalent in 72.5% of the subjects at any point in pregnancy and that the percentage of women with LPP increased significantly with time. The likelihood of pain was higher in the low back and pubic symphysis than in other areas (e.g., back, hip joint, buttocks, sacroiliac joint, and inguinal region). Regular exercise before pregnancy was not a significant factor in the prevalence of LPP. On the other hand, during mid-term pregnancy, active women had less LPP than not active women significantly. During late-term pregnancy, similar tendency was shown but they was not statistically significant. Anxiety in pregnancy was associated with LPP. We may have to take into account the amount of physical activity, the effect of lifestyle and character when treating LPP during pregnancy.
