    I'm hoping it's something small like that though

    Sounds like a bladder infection/UTI which is extremely common during pregnancy.

    I'm about 20 weeks pregnant and I've been having a lot of back pain here lately.  I think it's normal with pregnancy.

    I am only 13+change in and I am experiencing a LOT of back pain this week. I upped my water intake and found that really helped, also I have been doing a lot of stretching against walls, (pushing the small of my back against the wall, bending towards my toes and letting my arms hang etc.) If it is a UTI upping your water intake will help it flush out faster, but don't neglect to mention it to your doc. They want what's best for you and the baby.

    What does being healthy have to do with a UTI? They are very common in pregnancy. That is what it sounds like. The symptoms of a UTI during pregnancy can be different than when not pregnant.

    Definitely check with your doc. It might be a UTI, but if you're having back pain, it could have spread to your kidneys. That's a problem, but can be easily cleared up with antibiotics.

    Hope your dr could identify what it is.  I have had horrible back and hip pain pretty much from the start of my pregnancy, for me my dr thinks it might be Pelvic Girdle Pain and reccomended physical therapy or a chiropractor

    I had really bad back pain and put it down to pregnancy when I was fifteen weeks! When I went to see my doctor it turned out I had a kidney infection which I never had before! I drank water and cranberry juice like a mad woman for a week and it cleared itself up without any need for meds. Never does any harm to double check with doc! And plenty of fluids you'll be fine :) good luck!
