Hello,
Back pain is quite common in pregnancy and your scoliosis might have worsened by pregnancy.
You can consider analgesics like acetaminophen for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan (MRI is safe in pregnancy).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
