Hello,
Your symptoms are quite normal, due to the growing baby. I recommend checking blood protein and albumin levels, blood electrolytes and a urine analysis for proteinuria, considering the leg swelling. Regarding the lower back pain, you can wear a support for pregnant women and use a special pillow between your legs when sleeping.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
