Back pain in pregnancy is normal, especially since your baby is growing every day, and your body is now carrying weight it wasn't used to holding before. I don't mean to worry you, but extreme back pain could also be a sign of labor... If it is so extreme that it takes your breath away, maybe you should ask your doctor about having an ultrasound to make sure that there is normal development. If it gets too bad, you can take tylenol or aleve for pain relief and you can also use a heating pad for 15 minutes increments. Try these methods and keep me posted! Goodluck!

i know exactly how you feel. i'm 34 weeks and my back pain is excruciating and at times my legs go numb from the extreme sharp pains.
