Back pain in pregnancy — often experienced as dull, persistent aches in the lower back — tends to affect younger women and those who have had multiple pregnancies or weak backs before pregnancy. For most women, pain occurs in the sacroiliac joint — where the pelvis attaches to the spine. It may begin as stiffness in the morning and then progress to soreness through the day.

I have just started getting back pain this pregnancy.  I use a heating pad but only for short amounts of time because I don't want to overheat the baby.  I hear chiropractors and massage are both pretty helpful.
