Physiological changes during normal pregnancy are likely to give rise to musculoskeletal symptoms. On the other hand, autoimmune rheumatological diseases disproportionately affect women, often presenting during the childbearing years and sometimes during pregnancy. Contrary to autoimmune rheumatological diseases, the management of non-autoimmune musculoskeletal manifestations is generally conservative and often tends to resolve after pregnancy. It is therefore important to be aware of various musculoskeletal problems seen in the course of pregnancy. In this narrative review, commonly encountered non-autoimmune musculoskeletal problems during pregnancy have been described.
