Hello,
It is due to distension of uterus and subsequent compression of the nerve roots.
Other causes like false labor pain can also cause similar symptoms.
As a first line management you can take drugs like paracetamol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
