Hi,
Low backache in pregnancy is an expected problem.This is because,spine adopts an attitude of LORDOSIS to bear the extra weight of the uterus.This in turn causes more strain over the low back as a result of which your para spinal muscles go in for spasm thereby causing pain.
TREATMENT: low back exercises with hot water fomentation should make you feel better.
