Question

During a healthy pregnancy, women typically gain between 25 and 35 pounds. The spine has to support that weight. That can cause lower back pain. The weight of the growing baby and uterus also puts pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the pelvis and back.
When pain occurs along this nerve, the condition is known as sciatica. Many women experience sciatica during pregnancy because the enlarged uterus presses down on the sciatic nerve. This increased pressure causes pain, tingling, or numbness in the lower back, buttocks, and thighs.
BACKACHE DURING PREGNANCY
Back pain is one of the most common discomforts during pregnancy.
CAUSES
Ligaments stretch and become softer due to hormonal changes.
Hollow in the back increases as the baby grows.
Shift of the centre of gravity of the body due to increasing weight in the front part of the body.
Muscles of the back have to work more due to increased weight.
DO’S
Practice good posture.
Sit and stand with care.
Wear low heeled shoes (not flat) with good arch support.
Sit with good back support.
Apply hot pads to the painful area.
Do special exercises for the back to strengthen the back muscles under the supervision of an expert.
DON’TS
Don’t sleep on the soft bed.
Don’t sleep on your back. Try to sleep on your side.
Don’t bend over from the waist to pick things up-squat down, keep your back straight and pick up things.
Don’t lift heavy objects. Avoid excessive weight gain.

If cervical effacement is ruled out by your obstetrician, then nothing to worry. Continue calcium. But try to find out the cause by yourself like any abnormal posture or any exertion done by you. Also 1 thing that back becomes more curved as pregnancy is advanced, which can be the cause of pain and can be relieved by rest and exercise.
