Strain: Your center of gravity is thrown off by the enlarged uterus. This puts extra strain on the back muscles. Sitting is the position that is hardest on the back. If it gets better when you get up and walk or when you lie down, it isn't labor. Lumbar support can help. Do discuss this with your doctor at your next visit. Best wishes.
