What Causes Pain In The Lower Back During Pregnancy?
Hello, I am 24 weeks pregnant and I am having some pinkish brown colored discharge with mild pain in my lower back. This is my third pregnancy and I have never had this happen before. My baby is still moving a lot and I am home alone with my four year old. Is this normal? Or something that can wait til the morning to go the hospital?

Dear patient
Lower back pain is common during pregnancy. This happens due to increased weight of the baby and uterus which lies anterior to spine and hence increased stress on the spine. Pinkish brown discharge is not normal and consultation with obstetrician would be worthwhile. it may be sign of placenta previa. all the best.
