No: May use ES Tylenol (acetaminophen) as necessary, tub soaks with Epsom salt, stay as active as possible, should not affect natural birth

No "concerns": BUT this sounds like it may be coming from your SPINE (L4-L5 level). The pregnancy may be adding to the problem. Speak with your Chiro about referral to a Spine Specialist...or some careful physical therapy . Hope this helps! Good Luck! Dr Z

Likely Sacroiliitis: It is likely from you sacroiliac joint -- sacroiliitis. Not uncommon during pregnancy due to ligamentous laxity. You need a physical exam by a spine specialist to confirm this diagnosis. You have roughly 8-10 weeks before delivery, so after childbirth you will have more treatment options available -- including NSAIDs/PT, and a few others to be set up after you see a spine specialist.
