Lower back pain ?'s: Even at "five months post partum" the uterus is still enlarged, and the ligaments holding it in place are stretched, allowing the uterus to rest on the spine when you're walking, standing or sitting, which will generally disappear when on one's side. Back pain can also occur with urinary tract infections, so see your gyn physician for an exam and culture.
