severe lower back pain only on my right side ?

Hi ladies it's 11pm for me and im just sitting on the side of my bed with severe pain onthe right side of my lower back it's so extreme mu tears came out.I also got this pain earlier at work around 11am and it lasted until 2 pm I was tempted to call my OB but I just wanted to wait if it goes away. Tonight I went to bed around 8pm and woke up at 10:30 with this pain again. What could it be ? Should I run to the ER ?  Im just worried and crying I'm not sure if it's from pain or im just emotional. I will be 28 weeks tomorrow. And I just want to sleep right now I have to be up by 430 am for work :(.

Its probably normal as stated above but if its really bad you may want to take off tomorrow and take it easy. Maybe call your ob if pain gets to unbearable to see if there is anything they can do for it. Good luck!
