You can probably blame your growing uterus and hormonal changes for your aching back.You're not alone. As many as three-quarters of pregnant women experience back pain at some point. Most often the pain appears in the later months or becomes worse as pregnancy progresses.
try Gentle exercise, such as walking and stretching, may relieve stiffness and pain.
Massage
Gentle massage can ease some backache, but the effects tend to be temporary. If your husband gives you a massage, don't let him massage deeply in the dimples either side of your lower spine, as there are acupuncture points here that can stimulate contractions
Warmth
Use a warm (but not hot) water bottle, or make a compress with warm water. Soak a cloth in this water and place it over the small of your back.
