Hello ma'am and welcome.
Your muscles are usually at strain during pregnancy because of the increasing body weight, stretching, etc. But before we assume this to be the cause you should always go about a physical evaluation by a doctor.
As for medications during pregnancy, I would recommend against the use of any/all kinds of pain management and anti-spasmodic medication except tylenol. Please consult your doctor regarding this as well.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
