What Is The Cause For The Back Pain During Pregnancy?

I am 19 weeks pregnant and have started to have lower back pain. It only hurts after laying down or reclining in most any position, but mostly if I'm lying on my back. When I stand up it feels like my lower back is broken in two and I have to hobble around for awhile until it goes away. Is this normal and what is causing it?

Hi,
It seems that due to pregnancy there might be change of curvature of spine so it can give postural back pain.
This is common problem so nothing to worry.
Do some postural back exercise after consulting your Obst.
Take plenty of milk and high protein diet.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements
Ok and take care.
