HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The pain may also related to your pregnancy as you mentioned.
Pregnancy, especially in the later stages, can cause back pain or can worsen existing back pain.
Horseshoe kidney is not normally associated with pain.
If the pain continues then your doctor would need to see you to rule out other causes.
This require physical examination mainly, not likely imaging with any radiation.
You can try paracetamol to see if it helps. This can be used in pregnancy.
I hope this helps
