[|Human|] I am 37 weeks along with consistant lower back pain. I took a hot shower for 36 mins tried with pillows behind my back and laying in multiple positions and nothing is helping... I ve been in tears 3 times today due to the pain! Also getting pains down my thighs.. Could this be labor?
[|AI|]  Dear patient Back pain during pregnancy is common and occurs due to increased weight of uterus which puts stress on your back and leads to increase lumbar lordosis. If you were having back pain prior to pregnancy there is high chance of worsening of pain during pregnancy. Back pain worsens as pregnancy duration increases and is highest during third trimester. This is physiological during pregnancy. Improve your posture and apply hot water packs and diclofenac gel to your back for pain relief. This pain will subside once you deliver the baby so do not worry. You can also take tab diclofenac 50 mg SOS for pain relief. All the best.
