See below: It could be the position of your baby or you may have a urinary tract infection. Go be checked as urinary tract infection can increase risk of preterm labor.

Back pain: It's very common to develop backache in pregnancy. It's the gravid uterus pressing on it and sometimes it may even cause sciatica manifesting in backache and leg pain.

Back pain in pregnan: Most likely due to low back pain from change in posture from the pregnancy. I'd discuss this with your doctor but if it is not severe then it is unlikely to be of major concern.
