Hi there!

Backache is a common issue during pregnancy and occurs due to laxity of the ligaments under hormonal effect and the pressure from the uterus on the back. This is likely to relieve itself in a few days as the pressure from the uterus decreases. You could try exercises like swimming, prenatal-yoga etc and see if these might help with the discomfort.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
