Body mechanics: Carrying 20+ lbs, a few inches in front of your usual center of gravity causes you to shift your whole skeletal alignment. Yes this can hurt. Best to stretch a lot and get "fit" before , during , and after pregnancy.

Yes: Back pain is pretty common during pregnancy. Though it often improves after delivery, it can persist. After recovering from delivery, return to regular physical activity including regular aerobic exercise (walking, running, swimming, biking, etc) can reduce pain. If the pain is so bad you cannot exercise suggest talking to your obstetrician or primary provider for help in your specific situation.
