Severe pain at back and under the breast during pregnancy is caused by pressure from the top of your growing uterus, as well as your baby kicking or punching the area.
Pain are usually on the side of the baby’s position and can be felt just below the breasts and you will find that your breast are more painful when sitting or get up from laying down.

Here are some tips for you to get relief from this type of pain:

Make yourself as comfortable as possible by wearing loose fitting clothes.
Support yourself with cushions when lying down.
Sit up straight while supporting your back.
Take regular stretch breaks or short walks.
Take warm water shower bath.
Do light exercises regularly.

Avoid to take any medication for this and you feel it unbearable, consult your doctor.
Take care.
