Back pain: It could be that your back pain is related to scoliosis and pregnancy has changed the shape of your spine. Most pregnant women have a lordosis of pregnancy. It could also be that the change in your spine curvature has taken pressure off a compressed nerve root.

Common: Back pain will often improve toward the end of a pregnancy as the hormone changes cause the ligaments in the hips and back to relax.
