Sharp pains and uncomfortable!

I'm 23 weeks in two days first pregnancy.  I have been having off and on sharp pains in lower back, hips, and under lower abdominal area. The pain comes and goes but it's so bad i can't sleep at night and my Fiance has  to constantly rub my back to somewhat ease the pain. so I don't know if I should be concerned or if it is normal. I go to the doctor tomorrow but i just wanted a little advice before I go tomorrow.

As For the other pains, your baby is probably laying on some of your nerves causing you to have ransom Sharp pains. Ormally mine are in my pelvic bone and my legs.

I'm 15 weeks and 4 days and I've had the same problem. Ask your doctor about hyponefrosis. All pregnant women have some form of this and it's usually nothing to worry about but my mother had problems with this with my little brother. Hyponefrosis is where your baby lays tilted because of your uterus and lays on your ureters that connect to your kidneys causing them to inflame and causing back pain that feels almost like kidney stones moving or like you have a kidney infection. If the pain makes you nauseas, I would definitely ask your doctor about it.
