Dear lybrate user, back pains near term r common and it is b coz of so many reasons like wt of d uterus, presenting part fixing down in d pelvis, angle changes, which ultimately leads to stress on d para spinal muscles. Don't ve any pain killer for it, just apply some oil. Don't massage, just apply. There is a homoeopathic medicine which ll ease ur delivery and relieve ur backache to an extent, caulophyllum 200, 4 pills thrice daily till u deliver. For grade 3 mature placenta u need to b careful.
