Can be: There is definitely more low back strain in the 3rd trimester but if this is new and the cramping persists after you get off your feet and hydrate, you need to call your doctor and be seen. There is a possibility of threatened preterm later and you don't want to take any chances. Be safe.

Call your doctor.: Whenever you have pain and cramping during pregnancy, you should call your doctor. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids, too (without caffeine). Of course, if the cramping gets worse, or you have fever, bleeding, etc., call or get seen right away.
