This can be due to muscular weakness of the back muscles which generally occurs because of long sitting hours to take care of the baby or /prolonged posture assumption (aide lying on one side) which leads to overuse of one side of muscles along with lack of use of the other side.Its very common after pregnancy and delivery, generally a great change of life style occurs in carrying a baby or caring a baby.
