HI,
Thanks for the query.
Pain in back in pregnancy is mostly due to looseness of pelvic ligaments due to pregnancy hormones/ calcium deficiency/ vitamin D deficiency or pelvic infection.
Get examined by a gynecologist to exclude/ diagnose infection followed by treatment as per need.
Calcium & vitamin D supplementation help.
Exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles ( which can support the loose ligaments ) help in pain relief.)
Pain killers can be taken in early stages, while other things start working.
Thanks.
